The San Francisco Earthquake by Gordon ThomasMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The San Francisco Earthquake was an extremely interesting and informative book. The information in this work went far beyond anything I had previously read or learned in United State history classes. The detail is astounding, and the eye witness accounts of the disaster made me want to read more. I was surprised at the audacity of certain individuals who so willingly put aside the Constitution and took over, though they had no authority--and these are not facts presented in history books.
This work has a little of everything from heroism, romance, corruption, greed, self-sacrifice and terrible loss of life and property. Once I began reading, I could not stop. A great investigative effort by the authors, combined with human interest-- all wrapped up in a nonfiction package.
