Publisher Notes

An account of the ecological and historical impact of a series of Mississippi River Valley earthquakes that took place in 1811 and 1812 documents how towns were destroyed, a massive lake was created, and political loyalties were altered, changing the course of the War of 1812.

Media Reviews

"Feldman...makes his attempt entertaining, weaving several disparate narratives together in the style of a ticktock thriller....[He] takes his characters through the chaos deftly."
