""Loss of the Sultana and Reminiscences of Survivors: History of a Disaster Where Over One Thousand Five Hundred Human Beings Were Lost"" is a historical account written by Chester D. Berry in 1892. The book tells the story of the Sultana, a steamboat that was carrying Union soldiers home from Confederate prison camps at the end of the American Civil War. On April 27, 1865, the Sultana exploded and sank in the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee, killing over 1,500 people, most of whom were Union soldiers. Berry's book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the disaster, including the overcrowding of the boat, the poor condition of the boilers, and the negligence of the captain and crew. The author also includes first-hand accounts from survivors, who describe the chaos and horror of the explosion and the struggle to survive in the cold, fast-moving river. ""Loss of the Sultana and Reminiscences of Survivors"" is a poignant and tragic account of one of the worst maritime disasters in American history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and the importance of safety and responsibility in transportation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
