David McCullough · 1987 · 302 pages
May 31, 1889. Roaring down from the mountain, a wall of water, in some places 70 feet high, smashed through Johnstown, PA., killing, in a matter of minutes, over 2,000 men, women, and children, and leaving in it's wake not only tragic destruction but a national scandal that convulsed the country with horror and outrage.
