Specificatii
The hurricane that swept Galveston Island early in September, 1900,
occupies a unique place in the reckoning of events of the Texas
Gulf coast. Nearly a century after its passing, the storm remains
the standard against which the ferocity and destructiveness of all
others are measured. Twothirds of Galveston's buildings were washed
away at a cost that was never fully calculated. More than 6, 000
people were killed. And in the collective memory of a region where
depredations by wind and water are accepted as part of life, the
weekend of September 8, 1900, is the ultimate example of the terror
and violence a hurricane can bring. John Edward Weems's account of
the Galveston hurricane was written more than six decades ago, when
many of the survivors were still living and available for
interviews. This book is based on numerous conversations and
correspondence with these survivors as well as a careful
examination of contemporary documents and news reports. In direct,
economical prose Weems recreates that fateful weekend as
experienced by those who actually were there. The result is a
narrative that develops a pace and force as irresistible as the
hurricane that inspired it, and a work that is a model of
historical reportage.
