True accounts of major disasters in Texas history are retold in
this engagingly written collection. In this part of the country
tornadoes are a frequent threat, but in addition to the many
violent twisters, Texas residents have experienced fires, floods,
drought, blizzards, shipwrecks, and other devastating events,
including a yellow fever epidemic in 1867, which earned that year
the grim moniker "The Year of Death." Each story reveals not only
the circumstances surrounding the disaster and the magnitude of the
devastation but also the courage and ingenuity displayed by those
who survived and the heroism of those who helped others, often
risking their own lives in rescue efforts.
