Book Reviews of A Weekend in September

Book Review: Fantastic account of the 1900 Galveston Hurricane.
Summary: 5 Stars

"A Weekend in September" is a fantastic account of the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. The author interviewed many survivors of the hurricane and recounted their experiences in such a way as to make the reader believe they were actually THERE! I could hardly put the book down! Great pictures. Very helpful map of the city that I referenced again and again while reading the book. This is a must-read book for those who are interested in Galveston history, or a history of significant hurricanes.
