Book excerpt: Ball attributed the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906 to spirits who did not attain perfection while alive as human. He blamed some problems on love of money which he attributed to Jewish spirits. The spirits were earthbound and tried to control the affairs of the world's everyday life. Ball personally dealt with these spirits. People who were independent could avoid the problems caused by banding together, thereby admitting weakness. He predicted that San Francisco would rise again. He criticized the whites who did not accept that other races could work just as well as they.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spirits: And the Destruction of San Francisco Although it is only recently that I have realized the fact, I know now that I have been made the storm-center, so to speak, around which this battle of men and spirits has been waged. In the Bible these conflicts are said to be between gods and men. This is wrong, because the gods are good spirits - and good spirits never engage in fights. Great wealth was shown me, in heaps of gold, and promised me if I would become their medium - that is, do their bidding. But I have always felt that I should degrade myself if I surrendered my personality to the dictation of any other person, spirit or god.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from San Francisco's Great Disaster: A Full Account of the Recent Terrible Destruction of Life and Property by Earthquake, Fire and Volcano in California and at Vesuvius The world seems secure on her foundations, the heavens eternal, the universe unshakable, man supreme, until, in one of these dread hours, the narrow border between order and chaos, between law and anarchy in nature's realm, ends man's dream of supremacy, ends his faith that the universe is unshakable, that the heavens are eternal, that Old Earth is secure on her foundations. Such a revelation is the destruction of San Francisco. It is not alone the posses sion of the people of the day on which the awful visita tion has fallen, but the property of all the ages, a pointed lesson of the mutability of the finite, a grim fable whose moral points to the realms of the Divme and infinite. The lesson is for all peoples, everywhere, for who can tell where next nature will run riot? Who knows that the next out break of elemental anarchy will confine devastation to a single locality? Who can give security that the globe in its entirety will not crumble into dust when next the natural law is violated?

A few knelt on the curb in prayer, while the crowd looked vacantly at the quiet buildings as if still expecting to see them fall. Clouds of brick-dust rose from the silent city.

This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The San Francisco calamity by earthquake and fire by Charles Morris On the splendid Bay of San Francisco, one of the noblest harbors on the whole vast range of the Pacific Ocean, long has stood, like a Queen of the West on its seven hills, the beautiful city of San Francisco, the youngest and in its own way one of the most beautiful and attractive of the large cities of the United States. Born less than sixty years ago, it has grown with the healthy rapidity of a young giant, outvieing many cities of much earlier origin, until it has won rank as the eighth city of the United States, and as the unquestioned metropolis of our far Western States. It is on this great and rich city that the dark demon of destruction has now descended, as it fell on the next younger of our cities, Chicago, in 1872. It was the rage of the fire-fiend that desolated the metropolis of the lakes. Upon the Queen City of the West the twin terrors of earthquake and conflagration have descended at once, careening through its thronged streets, its marts of trade, and its abodes alike of poverty and wealth, and with the red hand of devastation sweeping one of the noblest centres of human industry and enterprise from the face of the earth. It is this story of almost irremediable ruin which it is our unwelcome duty to chronicle. But before entering upon this sorrowful task some description of the city that has fallen a prey to two of the earth's chief agents of destruction must be given. San Francisco is built on the end of a peninsula or tongue of land lying between the Pacific Ocean and the broad San Francisco Bay, a noble body of inland water extending southward for about forty miles and with a width varying from six to twelve miles. Northward this splendid body of water is connected with San Pablo Bay, ten miles long, and the latter with Suisun Bay, eight miles long, the whole forming a grand range of navigable waters only surpassed by the great northern inlet of Puget Sound. The Golden Gate, a channel five miles long, connects this great harbor with the sea, the whole giving San Francisco the greatest commercial advantages to be found on the Pacific coast. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from San Francisco Earthquake: Contemporary Articles Having spent the ten years between 1898 and 1908 in and about San Francisco I have collected the following pages as a history or souvenir of those eventful days which followed April 18th. 1906.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from San Francisco in Ruins: A Pictorial History of Eight Score Photo-Views of the Earthquake Effects, Flames' Havoc, Ruins Everywhere, Relief Camps It being quickly seen that the panic-stricken people would soon become a fleeing, dazed and terror-awed multitude, General Frederick Funston, com manding the Department of California, United States Army, with headquarters at the Presidio, immediately ordered out the cavalry, infantry and artillery forces under his command, who aided and directed the fleeing populace, gath ered up and succored the wounded, established emergency hospitals, and policed the city. At the same time menoof-wars-men from the Mare Island Navy Yard, consisting of the battleship Ohio, the cruiser Chicago, and the torpedo boat destroyer Paul Jones, together with the ships of the United States Army Transport Service, and all available steam craft, attacked the flames along the water front and succeeded in saving much wharfage and the Ferry building, which is the principal gateway from the mainland. Aided, ordered and guarded by the United States Army and Marine forces, assisted by the California National Guard, who were at once called out by the Governor, George C. Pardee, the excited and frenzied San Franciscans made their way to squares, parks and the open hills, over two hundred thousand fleeing to these places of refuge and another hundred thousand making their way by ferry-boats and other craft across the bay to the cities of Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda, caring for naught except to get away from the awful havoc and destruction of the place they once proudly called their City.
