Summary "Complete Story of the San Francisco Horror" by Linthicum, Fallows, and White is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the devastating events surrounding the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and the subsequent fire that ravaged the city. It reveals the scale of destruction, the loss of life, and the efforts made by survivors and authorities to deal with the aftermath of this tragic disaster, making it a compelling read for those interested in history or natural calamities. The opening of the work provides a detailed introduction to the catastrophe, describing the earthquake that struck San Francisco in the early hours of April 18, 1906. It paints a vivid picture of panic as buildings collapsed, water mains broke, and fires erupted throughout the city. Survivors faced terrifying scenes amidst the chaos, including the desperate attempts of firefighters who, unable to find water, resorted to using dynamite to control the raging inferno. As the days of destruction unfolded, the narrative evokes the suffering of thousands left homeless and the gallant efforts of rescuers, illustrating both the horrors and the heroism exhibited during one of America’s greatest disasters.
