This book takes you back to Massachusetts' most catastrophic events, vividly re-creating the moments that changed the state forever. The twenty-five true stories presented here are a chilling reminder to expect the unexpected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the 1874 Mill River flood and wreck of the City of Columbus, in 1884, to the Cocoanut Grove fire, in 1942, and the Amtrak derailment of 1990, Massachusetts has been the site of some of the nation's most dramatic moments. Each account in this book reveals not only the circumstances surrounding the disaster and the magnitude of the devastation, but also the courage and ingenuity displayed by those who survived and the heroism of those who helped others, often risking their own lives in rescue efforts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Pletcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493028766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493028764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Larry Pletcher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136684339455,"sku":"9781493028764","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e5a62f3-9563-4980-9234-a671e8ae0080.jpg?v=1770164163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/massachusetts-disasters-larry-pletcher-9781493028764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
