Easter week of 1913 brought a tornado to Omaha and then floods across Ohio and Indiana. Rushed into print within weeks, this account follows the waters through Dayton, with its fires and hunger, Columbus and the cities of northern Ohio, gathering survivors’ stories, tales of rescue and figures of loss and relief from town after town.

A period account of a disaster that reshaped American flood control, written with the urgency of the moment. Download the free EPUB.
