Three Fearful Days
San Francisco Memoirs of the 1906
earthquake & fire
Compiled and introduced by
Malcolm E. Barker
The 1906 earthquake shook San Francisco for sixty seconds and ignited fires that raged for three days, killing more than 3,000 people and destroying 500 city blocks. This final volume of the San Francisco Memoirs trilogy concentrates on dozens of firsthand accounts by people who endured the catastrophe. They also tell of the courage, determination, and good humor with which San Franciscans began to rebuild their lives—and their city.
- Stories of watching the quake approach and rip open the streets.
- Fighting the fire from inside the Mint.
- Being trapped in the basement as City Hall collapsed.
- Enrico Caruso gives his own version of what happened.
- How they saved Hotaling's whisky.
- A child's comment.
