Requests:  0 Summary:  "At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck San Francisco, catching most of the city asleep. For approximately one minute, shockwaves buckled streets, shattered water mains, collapsed buildings, crushed hundreds of residents to death and trapped many alive. Fires ignited and blazed through dry wooden ruins and grew into a firestorm. For the next three days, flames devoured collapsed ruins, killed trapped survivors, and nearly destroyed what was then the largest city in the American West. Meticulously researched and gracefully written, The Longest Minute is both a harrowing chronicle of devastation and the portrait of a city's resilience in the burning aftermath of greed and folly. Drawing on the letters and diaries and unpublished memoirs of survivors and previously unearthed archival records, Matthew Davenport combines history and science to tell the dramatic true story of one of the greatest disasters in American history"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 979.46105 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46105 Da Checked out 05/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46105 Da Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult New Books 979.46105 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46105 Da Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46105 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46105 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46105 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
