Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Destruction of San Francisco by Earthquake and Fire: The Complete Story of the Greatest of American Disasters, Horrors of the Vesuvius Eruption Strike one section of the world a terrible blow and all other sections have their deepest sympathies immediately centered in that spot. It is this fact that keeps alive man´s belief in the universal brotherhood of the race. A tragedy such as that which now overtops all others of its kind, and which in the short space of its action transformed San Francisco from the most beautiful American city into a wilderness of woe and desolation, must stir every human heart to deepest pity. In the soft dawn of the morning a series of seismic waves ran down the coast line from the north, their force culminating at San Francisco Bay. As a result more than one thousand lives were lost, several thousand men, women and children wounded, and three hundred thousand people rendered homeless. The scenes of terror that followed the breaking loose of so much force and fire in one spot cannot be realized by any single intelligence. To describe it in words would be to picture all that has ever been dreamed of Heaven and Hell. But the great throbbing heart of humanity that has felt this indescribable tragedy, the great Christian world listens for the voice that shall tell of the suffering and sacrifice, the woe and the goodness born of that woe. the pathetic talc of the destruction of San Francisco.
