i sort of started to peruse the clara barton history of the red cross. i skipped the beginnings and went straight to the disasters listed. texas famine? boring. florida yellow fever breakout? boring. OOH! here's a disaster i know about, the johnstown flood. now there's a disaster.
and like the WTC disaster, the country pulled to help and sheboygan, wi sent furniture and enameled ironware! of course i have only just begun.
dammit. i still have that new issue of the washington monthly to read!
oh, and i forgot about one entry in my EB. i believe his name was abel. he was a young matmatician genius and he died in his 20's. for him to be remembered,(ok, he had been pretty recent back nin 1891), he must have been very good.

That would have been the flood of 1889. When I left PA in '92, the price of liquor still included an 18% emergency tax to help pay for the recovery from the 1936 Johnstown flood.
