Wrath of God: Disasters in America: Torrents of Death This series examines some of the disasters, natural and man-made, that have had historical significance in America. The results of these disasters have ranged from weather warning systems to fire code regulations, but at a great price. Because of the loss of life and property these disasters caused, steps were taken to reduce and to eliminate the tragedies of similar disasters in the future. Wrath of God: Disasters in America would be useful for classes on American History, Civics, American Culture, Science and Technology, Geography and Safety. It is appropriate for middle school and high school. Torrents of Death This episode of Wrath of God: Disasters in America explores the destructive and awesome power of water. While water is necessary to sustain life, it also has the capacity to destroy life and everything in its path. When the forces of water are unleashed, humankind's barriers are washed away. Torrents of Death examines some of the most famous floods in American history, including the killer 1889 Johnstown Flood.

How can floods occur either naturally, or because of human intervention?

An Overview of American Soccer History By Dave Litterer spectrum@sover.net This page is a detailed historical overview of United States soccer from its roots in the 19th century to the present day. NEW: The first sections, from 1609-1921 have been completely revised and extensed. Enjoy! Origins, 1609-1862 The first football clubs were established in Sheffield in 1857, and soon they had enough to establish their own Football Association in 1867. Sheffield FA played London FA in 1861, one of the first regional matches. And eventually the need for a unified set of rules became obvious. This, prompted by many letters to the editors of the newspapers in the midlands, the near-north, and London regions of England, and led to a series of meetings, which culminated in the formation of the Football Association (FA) in 1863. This group attempted to establish a series of rules, which would please everyone, but they couldn't resolve issues such as use of hands, allowing hacking of opponents, etc. Many supporters of these elements (considered more "manly") eventually withdrew and formed the Rugby Football Union, and the FA established rules more similar to the modern game. The next major development was the establishment of a knockout cup in 1871, based on the house competitions at Harrow School. These knockouts, in which most teams names are placed in a hat, and drawn out in pairs, then leading to a one-game knockout competition similar to the NCAA Championships, which culminates in a Cup trophy.

(May 1996) ISBN 1557507392 Price $36.95 Book Description The worst maritime disaster in American history has received little historical attention, even though more people died from the 1865 Sultana explosion than drowned when the Titanic sank in 1912. Gene Eric Salecker painfully reconstructs the events leading up to the tragedy, when more than 2,000 federal troops crowded onto a side-wheel steamboat built to carry fewer than 300 people. Most of them were former prisoners of war, paroled after the Confederate surrender and finally heading home after years of struggle. We will never know why three of the Sultana's big boilers blew up and claimed 1,700 lives, although Salecker runs through several possible causes. Disaster on the Mississippi is an authoritative account of a forgotten chapter of American history. Customer Reviews What an fascinating nugget of US History. The soldiers got their just day with your vivid and detailed account. Fact truly is stranger than fiction. I felt like I truly got a naval education, didn't know much about ships/boats before this read. BTW, this is Patrick.

Among other new titles are Jane Smiley's reflections on being a horse owner and novels by Larry McMurtry, Andrei Codrescu and Barbara Delinsky. A visit to the Kennedys is on the agenda in "Grace and Power: The Private World of the Kennedy White House" (Random House) by Sally Bedell Smith. Letters, private papers, and interviews with family, friends and administration officials let readers in on the daily doings of America's youngest first couple. Topics include their marriage, political associates, friendships and Jack's extramarital affairs. A biography of perhaps "the most important figure in American history who never attained the presidency" but one with a "far more lasting impact than many who did" is offered in "Alexander Hamilton" (Penguin Press). Ron Chernow's 800-plus-page book follows Hamilton's life through his many accomplishments - Federalist Party leader, member of the Constitutional Convention, first Treasury secretary - and to his death in a duel with Aaron Burr.

People were simply picked up and tossed while struggling to maintain their balance. More often than not they ended up resembling flailing pawns in an overturned chess game. Those individuals who managed to escape out onto the streets were quickly enveloped in a thick yellow fog punctuated by the sound of crackling and tumbling walls.

The Battle Of Gettysburg July 1-3 1863 In July of 1863, General Robert E. Lee's Army Of Northern Virginia of 75,000 men and the 97,000 man Union Army Of The Potomac under General George G. Meade met, by chance, when a Confederate brigade sent forward for supplies observed a forward column of Meade's cavalry. Of the more than 2,000 land engagements of the Civil War, Gettysburg ranks supreme. Although the Battle of Gettysburg did not end the war, nor did it attain any major war aim for the North or the South, it remains the great battle of the war. Here at Gettysburg on July 1, 2, and 3, 1863, more men actually fought and more men died than in any other battle before or since on North American soil. Day 1 In June, Robert E. Lee decided to take the war north. He planned to destroy the railroad bridge at Harrisburg, then "turn my attention to Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Washington as may seem best for our interest." After the long march north, Confederate troops were spread from Chambersburg, through Carlisle, and into York. Towns across southern Pennsylvania were being "explored" for much needed supplies to continue the Southern offensive. While looking in Gettysburg, Pettigrew's brigade spotted Buford's cavalry on a ridge a mile west of town. The Battle of Gettysburg began on July 1 with Confederate troops attacking that Union cavalry division on McPherson Ridge, west of town. Out-numbered, the Union forces managed to hold, and even drive the Confederate army back, after the addition of John Reynold's Infantry division (and Reynold's subsequent death on the front lines). They prevailed until afternoon, when they were overpowered by additional southern troops, and driven back through town. In the confusion, thousands of Union soldiers were captured before they could rally on Cemetery Hill, south of town. Long into the night Union troops labored over their defenses while the bulk of Meade's army arrived and took positions.
