Book excerpt: The scene is set, a beautiful spring morning in San Francisco, just a few days after the Easter holiday. Spring flowers bloom, erasing the tedium of winter. The air is crisp and clean, a soft bay breeze escorts the gulls soaring above. A new day is dawning, and the city is awakening. Paperboys prepare to deliver the morning news, vendors hitch their horses to their produce carts, streets are washed down, and the smell of coffee from the roastery permeates the air. April 18, 1906, one hundred years ago. What started as a beautiful spring day soon turned into a nightmare for the citizens of San Francisco. The devastating quake struck with such a force as to throw people from their beds, split open streets, crumble monumental buildings, and render the city helpless, all within a few seconds. With a damaged infrastructure, the fire that erupted consumed all in its path, turning this once glorious city into a pile of ashes. The story of this cataclysmic quake and subsequent fire is told through the eyes of a young girl named Bina who lived through this tumultuous time. She became fascinated with the images of the postcards depicting the sights and events she experienced, and with the help of family and friends put together the scrapbook presented within these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “gripping, can’t-put-it-down” chronicle, drawing on eyewitness reports and historical documents, by the New York Times–bestselling authors of Enola Gay (Los Angeles Herald Examiner). It happened at 5:13 a.m. on April 18, 1906, in San Francisco. To this day, it remains one of the worst natural disasters in American history—and this definitive book brings the full story to vivid life. Using previously unpublished documents from insurance companies, the military, and the Red Cross, as well as the stories of those who were there, The San Francisco Earthquake exposes villains and heroes; shows how the political powers tried to conceal the amount of damage caused by the earthquake; reveals how efforts to contain the fire actually spread it instead; and tells how the military executed people without trial. It also features personal stories of people who experienced it firsthand, including the great Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, the banker Amadeo Giannini, the writer-adventurer Jack London, the temperamental star John Barrymore, and the thousands of less famous in their struggle for survival. From the authors of The Day the Bubble Burst, The San Francisco Earthquake is an important look at how the city has handled catastrophe in the past—and how it may handle it in the future.
