March 17th at Louisa’s Home
We will be reading Stephen Puleo's Dark Tide: the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919. A tank burst and the subsequent flood killed 21 people. From Amazon: "Its story overlays America's story during a tumultuous decade in our history. Tracing the era from the tank's construction in 1915 through the multiyear lawsuit that followed the tragedy, Dark Tide uses the drama of the flood to examine the sweeping changes brought about by World War I, Prohibition, the Anarchist movement, the Red Scare, immigration, and the role of big business in society."
