Most of our Landmarks books are reader copies only, and are usually less than the marked price. Collectors: please call or email if you're looking for specific editions or dust jackets!
The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"Run for your lives—the dam is breaking!" was a familiar threat to the people of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. They had heard it too often to believe it would ever happen. But on May 32, 1889, disaster roared down from the hills, engulfing the peaceful valley. Thousands of men, women, and children fought with heroic courage to survive days and nights of horror.
In this vivid, hour-by-hour account, Hildegarde Dolson tells how the tragedy happened, and how such a disaster could have been prevented. It is an exciting story of human bravery.
