9407k. Federal Writer’s Project. NEW
ENGLAND HURRICANE – A Factual, Pictorial Record. Boston. 1938. 5th.
224p. This book is a factual, pictorial record of the worst disaster that has
ever struck New England. Compiled within days of the awful event by the Federal
Writers' Project of the WPA, over 500 photographs and text record the wild gale.
In September 1938 the hurricane covered 600 miles in 12 hours, one of the
fastest moving hurricanes ever reported. There was no warning of the on-rushing
storm until the New Jersey coast was struck near Atlantic City. The storm then
traveled up the Connecticut valley, and through the heart of Vermont. A graphic
look into the damage the sweeping winds and tides brought to the region.
Includes good view of the U.S. Lighthouse Tender Tulip high and dry on the
railroad tracks in New London, Conn. The 10” x 7” book is bound in green
cloth with red lettering on the spine. Profusely illustrated with black and
white photographs of the devastation caused by the storm, taken by WPA
photographers. Light water marks to the covers, light wear and bumping to
corners. The rear hinge is cracked and holding, front hinge is intact. The pages
have very minor age toning to the edges; otherwise they are clean bright and
unmarked. (G+). $28.
