Publisher's Synopsis
""San Francisco During The Eventful Days Of April 1906"" is a book written by James B. Stetson that chronicles the catastrophic earthquake and subsequent fire that struck the city of San Francisco in April 1906. The author, who was a resident of the city at the time, provides a first-hand account of the disaster, including the chaos and devastation that followed. The book also includes photographs and illustrations that help to convey the scale of the destruction. In addition to documenting the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, Stetson also explores the efforts to rebuild the city in the years that followed. This book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into one of the most significant events in San Francisco's history.As soon as it was over I got up and went to the window, and saw the air in the street filled with a white dust, which was caused by the falling of masonry from St. Luke's Church on the diagonal corner from my room. I waited for the dust to settle, and I then saw the damage which had been done to Claus Spreckels's house and the church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
