More than a century later, the Galveston
Hurricane of 1900 is still America’s deadliest disaster. Lauren Tarshis’s story
of one child surviving the horrible event churns with page-turning action and
bold hope.
The city of Galveston, Texas, was booming. Perched
on an island off the southern coast of Texas, Galveston had been founded in the
1830s. By 1900, it was Texas’s richest and most important city. Boats loaded up
with American cotton and wheat steamed from Galveston to countries around the
world. Arriving ships were crowded with immigrants. The streets, paved with
crushed oyster shells, sparkled like they’d been sprinkled with diamonds.
True, this glittering city was prone to flooding. But just a few years before,
a weather forecaster had said the idea of a hurricane striking Galveston was
absurd.
So when a storm started brewing on September 8, 1900, no one believed it would
be any worse than previous storms. They gathered on the beach to cheer on the
wild waves. But what started as entertainment soon turned into a nightmare as
those wild waves crashed into the city. By morning, hundreds of homes were
destroyed. Eight thousand people were dead. The city had all but disappeared,
In this thrilling installment of Lauren Tarshis’s New York Times bestselling
I Survived series, one child finds safety only to head back into the
treacherous waters to make sure his neighbors are safe.
Check out all of the I SURVIVED BOOKS! Each can be read as a standalone.
