1.[no image]Johnstown Flood
from Peter Smith Publisher
Price: $26.77

Customer Review:
There is a saying, not original to me, that events are of record, but reality is a construct. McCullough does the research necessary to state the essential facts of this historical event.

Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
There are going to be other reviewers who can provide more erudite reviews-- reviews better grounded in the study of cities or economic history. I am nothing more than an average reader who enjoys non-fiction.

from Mariner Books

Customer Review:
Note that this review is for the audio book narrated by David Colacci. I have been on a kick the last year or so of listening to the `classics' on my daily commute.

I purchased this book after watching a two hour PBS special on the Columbian Exposition. My imagination was captured, and I wanted more.
