A huge earthquake rocked the West Coast on April 18, 1906. Worst hit was the city of San Francisco, where buildings collapsed and fires raged for days. Thousands of people died, and many more were left homeless. The disaster was just one of a long series of earthquakes triggered by the San Andreas Fault. It taught scientists valuable lessons about preparing for earthquakes.

The scene is set, a beautiful spring morning in San Francisco, just a few days after the Easter holiday. Spring flowers bloom, erasing the tedium of winter. The air is crisp and clean, a soft bay breeze escorts the gulls soaring above. A new day is dawning, and the city is awakening. Paperboys prepare to deliver the morning news, vendors hitch their horses to their produce carts, streets are washed down, and the smell of coffee from the roastery permeates the air. April 18, 1906, one hundred years ago. What started as a beautiful spring day soon turned into a nightmare for the citizens of San Francisco. The devastating quake struck with such a force as to throw people from their beds, split open streets, crumble monumental buildings, and render the city helpless, all within a few seconds. With a damaged infrastructure, the fire that erupted consumed all in its path, turning this once glorious city into a pile of ashes. The story of this cataclysmic quake and subsequent fire is told through the eyes of a young girl named Bina who lived through this tumultuous time. She became fascinated with the images of the postcards depicting the sights and events she experienced, and with the help of family and friends put together the scrapbook presented within these pages.

On April 18, 1906, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the San Francisco region, igniting fires that burned half the city. The disaster in all its elements — earthquake, fires, and recovery — profoundly disrupted the urban order and challenged San Francisco’s perceived permanence. The crisis temporarily broke down spatial divisions of class and race and highlighted the contested terrain of urban nature in an era of widespread class conflict, simmering ethnic tensions, and controversial reform efforts. From a proposal to expel Chinatown from the city center to a vision of San Francisco paved with concrete in the name of sanitation, the process of reconstruction involved reenvisioning the places of both people and nature. In their zeal to restore their city, San Franciscans downplayed the role of the earthquake and persisted in choosing patterns of development that exacerbated risk. In this close study of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Joanna L. Dyl examines the decades leading up to the catastrophic event and the city’s recovery from it. Combining urban environmental history and disaster studies, Seismic City demonstrates how the crisis and subsequent rebuilding reflect the dynamic interplay of natural and human influences that have shaped San Francisco.

A devastating earthquake hit the city, tumbling buildings and igniting infernos. Thousands of people lost their lives, and hundreds of thousands lost their homes. San Francisco was in ruins. Why such a massive earthquake? Why such devastation? And would San Francisco ever recover?"--Provided by publisher.
