Heritage Books is releasing a new book on the General Slocum Disaster. What makes this one different is that it includes the stories of many of the individual families who were involved. These are told in the words of the descendants who either grew up hearing the story or who researched their involvement as part of a family history. Also and FINALLY there is a good list of victims and survivors. The author spent almost 5 yrs tracking down which children belonged to which parents at what address, etc. Where possible, there are even the NYC Death Cert. #s, so you can send for a copy - - - WOW! Yes, this book also retells the story of the disaster, but as far as possible, from the passengers' own reports and those of witnesses on shoure and on rescue boats. YOu can order direct from Heritage Books on their web site. You even find out what some of the families were doing 5, 10 or more years after the disaster and the pictures are wonderful! Enjoy.
