蒂普卡诺县和1913年洪水[AZW3/MOBI]

天气预报预示着即将到来的春天，并承诺在1913年将迎来一个温暖而阳光明媚的复活节。蒂普卡诺县的居民几乎没有意识到，一场猛烈的洪水会导致瓦巴什河涨到无法治理和致命的高度。桥梁倒塌，整栋建筑从地基上拆除，被冲走，英勇的营救行动挽救了生命，并夺走了其他人的生命。皮特·比尔（Pete Bill）和阿诺德·斯威特（Arnold Sweet）利用以前从未在印刷品上看到过的不为人知的故事和图像，展开了社区突然与世界其他地方隔绝、面临着席卷20个州的自然灾害的人类戏剧。
Tippecanoe County and the 1913 Flood [AZW3/MOBI]
Heralding the coming spring, the weather forecast promised a warm and sunny Easter in 1913. Little did the citizens of Tippecanoe County realize that a furious deluge would cause the Wabash River to swell to an ungovernable and lethal height. Bridges collapsed, whole buildings came unmoored from their foundations and washed away and heroic rescue attempts saved lives and cost others. Using previously untold stories and images never before seen in print, Pete Bill and Arnold Sweet unfold the human drama of communities suddenly cut off from the rest of the world and facing a natural disaster that gripped twenty states.
