Summary of Earth Shook, the Sky Burned, the ; 100th Anniversary Edition: A Photographic Record of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire
"The Earth Shook, The Sky Burned" has mesmerized San Francisco tourists and residents for decades. Illustrated with more than four hundred on-the-scene photographs, this definitive volume tells the dramatic story of the four days of upheaval and destruction that swept the city when a violent earth tremor rocked the land, succeeded rapidly by a devastating fire that destroyed nearly thirty thousand buildings and left over a quarter million people homeless. Now, reissued with a powerful new cover, "The Earth Shook, The Sky Burned" is a San Francisco classic, revealing what really happened that April morning almost a century ago, when the face of the city was changed forever.State & Local Books
