Description
When a deadly wind and flood strike, a single coast becomes a stage for survival, loss, and resilience. This nonfiction account follows a devastating storm that tore across the Gulf Coast, setting a grim scene of destroyed homes, shattered bridges, and drowned dreams along Cheniere Caminada and beyond. Through vivid detail, it traces how people faced danger, documented the wreckage, and organized to rebuild amid vast ruin.
In spare, documentary prose, the narrative moves from intimate human tragedy to broad regional impact, showing how communities, ships, and rail lines were tested by the Wind of Death. It presents the human cost -- families torn apart, infants born into peril, and neighbors helping neighbors -- against a backdrop of damaged towns, broken infrastructure, and hard-won recoveries.
• Experience a ground-level view of a historic coastal disaster and its aftermath.
• See how individuals and organizations respond as communities struggle to reestablish order.
• Learn how the storm reshaped towns, rail routes, and local life along the Gulf Coast.
• Follow the documentary narration that blends personal stories with civic and logistical challenges.
Ideal for readers of historical crises, maritime history, and coastal life, this edition offers a stark window into a pivotal moment on the Gulf Coast.
