The Longest Minute
The Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906
Matthew J. Davenport, 2023, 346p+76 pages of notes
Beaverton Library 979.461 DAV
Many MANY stories of individuals and incidents - I could not build a big picture. I'm interested in the mechanics of earthquakes and their interactions with infrastructure, not much here for me.
Two maps in front: A 1906 map showing the northern half of SF with some now-filled bays, a second "R.J. Waters" closeup map with darkened areas showing the extent of the fire-destroyed areas ... and also nonexistent filled areas and extra streets (Lewis, Tonquin) to the north around Fort Mason. Annoying.
8 pages of old photos.
Much of SF was rebuilt in the fire-destroyed area, but the written descriptions of the on-fire and burned areas was difficult for me to follow.
Almost nothing about the effects in East Bay, Palo Alto, San Jose, Marin, etc.
