"Massive buildings were crushed like egg shells, great timbers were
carried through the air as though they were of no weight, and the
winds and the waves swept everything before them until their
appetite for destruction was satiated and their force spent."
--From the foreword by Richard Spillane, editor of the Galveston
Tribune The many personal tragedies and triumphs come to light in
this full and thrilling account that is made even more evocative
and jolting by its profusion of photographs taken immediately after
the disaster. In the storm, S. W. Clinton lost his wife and six
children, including two sons he could not save from drowning before
his very eyes. Yet others survived. Long engaged, Ernest A. Mayo
and Bessie Roberts decided it was better to face the daunting tasks
ahead of them together, and were married a mere five days after the
flood. Their stories, and the stories of all who survived the great
Galveston Hurricane of 1900, attest to humanity's ability to
overcome even the most horrific of disasters.
