  The first indication of the prolonged terror that followed the 1906 earthquake occurred when a ship steaming off San Francisco's Golden Gate 'seemed to jump clear out of the water'. This book presents an account of the earthquake, the devastating firestorms that followed, and the city's subsequent reconstruction.
