THE CHARLESTON EARTHQUAKE
>>>1886.<<<
THE history of the City of Charleston, S. C, is so
closely interwoven with the history of the American
Republic that it is difficult to separate the one from
the other. The almost total destruction of that historic
city by an earthquake on the night of August 31st, 1886,
becomes a matter of National importance, and forms a sad
but interesting epoch in the history of the Republic.
With the dreadful details of that fatal night the
American people are already familiar, through the
columns of the American newspaper press. Sixty thousand
people were aroused from their slumbers by the fearful
rocking and swaying of their houses, by crumbling and
falling walls, by the awful trembling of the earth
beneath their feet and by the heart-rending shrieks of
thousands of affrighted men, women and children, mingled
with the moans of the wounded and dying. Many rushed out
of their houses to meet death beneath the masses 6f
falling debris which were started in motion by the
terrible shake, and as the survivors gathered in the
public squares and open places where instinct carried
them, and women and children, half clad, stood shivering
and trembling on the verge of an awful eternity, the
heavens were lighted up by the lurid glare of flames
that burst from four different quarters and
simultaneously sprang into life, adding to the terrors
of the situation and the horrible adjuncts of the
fearful scene.
In less than thirty seconds the
fairest city on the South Atlantic coast was laid in
ruins, her business paralyzed, her commerce destroyed
and her people rendered homeless. After a night of
unparalleled horrors, which no pen can picture, no
tongue describe, the men of Charleston stunned and dazed
by the awful blow, awoke to the realization of the
appalling fact that the accumulation of a life time, the
fruits of centuries of honest industry had been swept
away at a breath.
