Book Reviews of Denial of Disaster: The Untold Story and Photographs of the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906
Book Review: Gladys Hansen; a pioneer of San Francisco history research.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you ever wanted a single book; graphic in all details & accounts of the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906-you'll want our City Librarian's excellent reference. Beside that Gladys Hansen is to San Francisco history what Jack London was to Oakland's Library...makes this an "official" book! What makes this an outstanding work in my opinion a "required" book for all school classrooms, is that in addition to introducing who-knows-how-many individuals to the joy of historical research-she "knocked the socks off the establishment" when by her own authority-determined that the record was wrong concerning what a large impact this tragedy had had; and through common-sense investigations gave us a better picture of what really happened. I am recommending that teachers everywhere have "Denial of Disaster" on their reading lists as we celebrate this 150th Anniversary of California.
