Customer Reviews

Excellent account of 1913 flood

I read this book many years ago when I was growing up in Dayton, Ohio. I had heard tales of the 1913 flood, but reading this book at the time made it all more real to me. Very well written, and quite descriptive with the sights and sounds and sometimes smells of the time leading up to and during the flood. Brought to life places that no longer existed when I was growing up, like the old Steele High School. A few years ago I stumbled upon an old copy at a library sale and snapped it up. I came home and reread it that night. Strongly recommended to history buffs and non-history buffs!

Promises in the Attic

This book is really good. Especially if you're from Dayton. Even if you're not! I read this book when i was in about the 6th grade. it's about a girl around 16 i believe that lives through the 1913 flood in dayton. it tells of the sights and sounds of the flood along with the girls fictional family and their experiences. includes daytonview, ncr, victoria theatre etc. it's a great book!
