The Great Sea Island Storm of 1893 - Softcover
In a single terrifying night near the end of the 19th century, a gigantic hurricane ripped through the islands and lowlands of Georgia and South Carolina, drowning 2,000 or more and leaving 70,000 destitute. Most of the victims were former slaves and descendants of slaves, "Gullahs." With no government involvement, but through steady appeals to those outside of the devastated region, Clara Barton of the American Red Cross and others spent most of the next year in the tedious recovery effort. More than a century later, the horrors of that experience come to mind whenever a hurricane spins offshore.
