The 1906 San Francisco earthquake was one of the destructive earthquakes ever recorded. Over 3,000 died; over 225,000 were left homeless; over 25,000 buildings were destroyed. The cost of loss was more than 400 million.
This is an anthology of three different accounts of the tragic events that followed. It contains the following works:
*The San Francisco Calamity by Earthquake by Charles Morris
*San Francisco During the Eventful Days of April, 1906 by James B. Stetson
*Complete Story of the San Francisco Horror by Trumbull White
The events of that day and what happened after is being adapted into a film directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission Impossible 4, and The Iron Giant) and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.
