Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Fascination with disasters and survival stories is explored through nineteen true accounts that shaped Texas history. Mike Cox vividly recounts catastrophic events, including the 1554 Spanish fleet stranding, the devastating 1867 Yellow Fever epidemic, and the infamous 1900 Galveston hurricane. Other notable tales include the 1912 railroad boiler disaster and the mysterious disappearance of the SS Marine Sulphur Queen in 1963. These narratives serve as a chilling reminder of nature's powerful, often deadly forces and the resilience of those affected.
