Illustrated with more than four hundred on-the-scene photographs, this is the definitive account of the 1906 earthquake and fire that devastated San Francisco.
The Earth Shook, The Sky Burned tells the tragic story of the four days of upheaval and destruction that swept San Francisco when a violent earth tremor rocked the land, succeeded rapidly by a devastating fire that destroyed nearly thirty thousand buildings and left more than a quarter million people homeless.
William Bronson’s blow-by-blow account is full of dramatic detail and includes a fascinating cast of characters, including Enrico Caruso, John Barrymore, and other turn of the century icons. A classic of San Francisco history, The Earth Shook, The Sky Burned reveals what really happened that April morning when the face of the city was changed forever.
