The April 18, 1906 newspaper has  "same day" coverage of the SAN FRANCISCO earthquake. The other 2 newspapers contain contemporary coverage of the aftermath of the earthquake as reported in
local
Oakland and San Francisco, CALIFORNIA newspapers.
These 3 original newspaper front pages have been professionally mounted on a thin white cardboard backing for preservation of this fragile item. They are perfect for framing and display.
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck the coast of Northern California at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18, with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.9 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). High-intensity shaking was felt from Eureka on the North Coast to the Salinas Valley, an agricultural region to the south of the San Francisco Bay Area. Devastating fires soon broke out in the city and lasted for several days. More than 3,000 people died. Over 80% of the city of San Francisco was destroyed. The events are remembered as one of the worst and deadliest earthquakes in the history of the United States. The death toll remains the greatest loss of life from a natural disaster in California's history and high on the lists of American disasters.
