Never Stop Looking Down the Road - Paperback

by Sherman L. Smith (Author)

On April 18^th, 1906, a titanic earthquake jarred the citizens of San Francisco awake, not long after dozens of small fires burned. Three of those fires grew, eventually destroying over five hundred square blocks of the fabled city by the Golden Gate.

Many of the survivors, rendered homeless, were forced to live in ill-prepared tent camps where shortages, government ineptitude, and corruption ruled the day. 'Never Stop Looking Down the Road' is a work of historical fiction telling the story of eight of the survivors, the hardships they endured during the three days and nights in which the city burned. Strangers, starting over, in a barren polo field in Golden Gate Park, the economic and social structure of the city forever changed. An old buffalo soldier brings hope by simply looking down that road for opportunity.
