Publisher's Synopsis

The Earth Trembled is a historical account of the devastating earthquake that struck San Francisco on April 18, 1906. Written by E.P. Roe, the book provides a detailed and gripping narrative of the disaster, which caused widespread destruction and loss of life. The author describes the events leading up to the earthquake, the immediate aftermath, and the long-term impact on the city and its residents. He also explores the heroic efforts of first responders and volunteers who worked tirelessly to rescue survivors and rebuild the city. The Earth Trembled is a compelling and informative read that offers a vivid portrayal of one of the most significant natural disasters in American history.Then Clancy remarked lightly, ""We had our share of disaster in the last August's cyclone. Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place. The jar of Friday was only a little sympathetic symptom in old mother Earth, who, like other mothers and women in general, are said to be subject to nervous attacks. Suppose we settle down to our games.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
