Editorial Review:
This is an unabridged reprint of the first book and first thorough scientific work ever published on the great New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-12. The winter of 1811-12 experienced the greatest burst of seismic energy in the history of the original 48 states. Geologist, Myron Fuller, spent several years in the field between 1900-1905 scouting the New Madrid fault zone on foot and on horseback, mapping the consequences of these giant cataclysms that had so permanently and so profoundly changed the landscape of this region 90 years before. Originally published by the U.S. Geological Survey, this book is the starting point for all serious researchers on these world-class temblors. Foreword to this 1995 printing is by seismologist, David Stewart, Ph.D.

Average Customer Rating: 
An interesting little book about the great Earthquakes we seem to have forgotten.  2008-07-22
This is a moderately interesting read about the New Madrid Earthquakes from 1811-1812. Constant temblors for about 5-6 straight months. The Earthquake America Forgot is also a rather interesting read, aside from a bit of occasional biblical commentary.
If you're really into the New Madrid quakes of that period and some of the related geology, this might be worth a perusal.
New Madrid Earthquake - greatest recorded event of all time?  2007-07-13
Just heard of this event July 07. Maybe I was asleep in class when this was mentioned, but as noted in the foreword by Dr. Stewart I'm not the only one who missed this, maybe the greatest recorded event of all time, or is even yet unaware. This book, 120 pages, compiles in one place extensive amounts of information about "the event". I hope it's not a hundred year event, but as we are approaching another hundred years, it might do well to be watchful. Otherwise, in my humble opinion as an unqualified scientist, the book is very informative and rich with references for further reading, or study if you are qualified or wish to be.
