Review Quotes: Praise for the 25th Anniversary Edition
"The storm of September 8, 1900, remains a pivotal event in local history that continues to influence the lives of residents and tourists. Each year in May islanders prepare for a hurricane season often reconnecting with readings and images of the storm. These artifacts of the storm resonate in our heads and remind us of the depth of this historical event. I often say the 1900 storm was a tragedy and it needs no enhancements to make it a horror as it is still the largest loss of human life of any natural disaster in the US. . . . [Rozelle] carefully intertwines documented storm occurrences with fiction to enhance the narrative and make it seem real. . . . Rozelle's work remains one of the best stories for those interested in the catastrophic storm of 1900."--Dwayne Jones, Executive Director, Galveston Historical Foundation--Dwayne Jones
