True accounts of major failures in Oregon history are retold on this engagingly written collection. Some of the true accounts dramatically retold are the deadly Mount Hood avalanche of 1927, the 1933 Tillamook forest fire (one of the vital worst in U.S. history), the devastating tsunami of 1964, and the 1903 flash flood in Heppner, which carried away a fourth of town’s inhabitants. Every story reveals not only the circumstances surrounding the disaster and the magnitude of the devastation but additionally the courage and ingenuity displayed by individuals who survived and the heroism of individuals who helped others, steadily risking their very own lives in rescue efforts.
