Description

On Sunday, March 23, 1913, the burgeoning city of Omaha, Nebraska, fell victim to one of the vital worst tornado failures in American history. Downtown was once spared, however the fashionable neighborhoods of town’s western fringe and the ethnic neighborhoods of north Omaha were destroyed. Over 100 lives were lost, and millions of bucks in property damage was once done. Photographers descended upon Omaha, rendering astonishing images of the storm’s aftermath. This book uses just about 200 of the ones photographs, many of which might be drawn from the Durham Western Heritage Museum archives, to document the tornado’s path of destruction, in addition to stories of survival, compassion, reconstruction, and the remarkable unity and resilience of the Omaha community.
