Same-day report of the San Francisco earthquake...



Item # 678723

April 18, 1906

LOS ANGELES EXPRESS--Extra (believed to be the 3rd Extra), April 18, 1906  

* 1906 San Francisco earthquake
* Early 1st report on same day it happened


This is a great same-day report of the famous San Francisco earthquake & fire, with the banner headline reporting: "FIFTY CITY BLOCKS WRECKED AND BURNING" and beneath it: "Earthquake Kills Hundreds in San Francisco and City is on Fire in Scores of Places" "Big Buildings In Heart of Business District Are Ruined" plus more.
Four pages, and since the pages are not numbered, and this being an "Extra" edition, we presume it is complete as such.  Wear at ventral fold with a small hole at the fold juncture, older tape repairs inside & in the masthead, minor margin wear.
