It take you through the entire ordeal in a completely different way.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Must Read!By James A. BultemaAs a photo historian working on a specific subject. few results are more rewarding than to find a never-before-published photograph that perfectly illustrates the subject at hand. In When San Francisco Burned. the author. Douglas L. Gist. presents for the first time. 130 extremely rare and unpublished views of the twisted destruction of the San Francisco earthquake from his grandfatherrsquo;s remarkable family album.With amazing detail. When San Francisco Burned. transports the reader back to 1906 to witness firsthand the horrific damage. fires. and ruble caused by the devastating earthquake. These photographs capture the extemporaneous. candid moments of people responding to the shock and horror of history being made. In one moving photograph the scope of the natural disaster is exemplified by a victim laying amongst the ruble. Compassionate citizens passing by partially covered the deceased using burnt wood and debris from the earthquake so as to give the body some semblance of dignity.When San Francisco Burned is a significant addition and a must have to those that relish San Francisco history and photojournalism. and for those that want a clearer understanding as to what their fellow Americanrsquo;s experienced in those dreadful days following the earthquake.mdash;James A. Bultema. author of The Protectors: A Photographic History of Police Departments in the United States
