Description:In January of 1937, in the midst of the hardships of the Great Depression, one of the greatest natural disasters in American history struck the Midwest. The entire Ohio River, from Pittsburgh, PA to Cairo, IL, exploded from its banks in a flood of mind-boggling proportions. Cincinnati, the largest city along the Ohio, endured some of the greatest damage. It was not only water that pummeled the city, but fire as well. Fuel from overturned tanks in Cumminsville ignited, causing a blaze so terrific that fire engines from as far away as Dayton raced down icy roads to help extinguish the inferno. With little drinking water or electric power, the people of Cincinnati and surrounding cities endured the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the region. Amidst the chaos, Cincinnatians turned to their city manager, Clarence Dykstra, granting him extraordinary dictatorial powers. However, the real heroes were the ordinary people who helped others in their time of need -- the ones who finally prevailed over nature's wrath.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
