The Great San Francisco Earthquake

By Nel Yomtov

In the early morning of April 18, 1906, a powerful earthquake struck San Francisco, shaking the city and changing its future forever. What caused the ground to tremble so violently, and why did fires spread across the city after the shaking stopped? How did people respond to the destruction, and what changes were made as San Francisco rebuilt? Supporting state and national social studies standards for grades 3-5, this book provides a clear, straightforward overview of the Great San Francisco earthquake and explains its lasting impact on science, safety, and American history.
