Voices from the 1900 Galveston Storm
Hardback
Publication Date: 01/08/2002
It had no name and gave no warning, but crept stealthily into the Gulf and then roared ashore, killing six thousand people. Nearly one hundred years after its landfall, the hurricane that struck Galveston Island on September 8, 1900, remains the worst natural disaster the nation has seen. In Through A Night of Horrors, witnesses describe, in many never-before-published accounts, their encounters with this deadly storm. Casey Edward Greene and Shelly Henley Kelly spent several years culling the Rosenberg Library's unparalleled collection on the storm for this work. Some of the survivor accounts included were recorded in the days immediately following the disaster; others were put down after many years had passed. The letters and memoirs included in this volume not only provided catharsis to their writers but also left important documentation about the events for future generations.
