Washed Away: How the Great Flood of 1913...Terrorized a Nation and Changed it Forever

It is Easter week, 1913. Our true story unfolds with the anticipation and the excitement of a best-selling novel. Writing an hour by hour, day by day diary of the incredible weather events of that infamous week 1913, Geoff Williams develops characters that tug at our hearts in the few moments we know them, and paints a gripping picture of the many towns and states through which the totally unexpected weather would rage throughout the Midwest...from small towns to major urban centers.

Nick Schenkel, retired Director of the West Lafayette Public Library, is a long time WBAA contributor who reviews books from all walks of literature.
