Disaster! Stories of Destruction and Death in Nineteenth-Century New Jersey

Summary: In Disaster!, Alan A. Siegel brings readers face-to-face with twenty-eight of the deadliest natural and human-caused calamities to strike New Jersey between 1821 and 1906. Accounts of fires, steamboat explosions, shipwrecks, train wrecks, and storms are told in the words of the people who experienced the events firsthand, lending a sense of immediacy to each story. These and many other stories of forgotten acts of courage in the face of danger will make Disaster! an unforgettable read.
