The Great Alaska Earthquake of 1899

"The Independent" of April 26 reminds us through Professor Tarr that there was a very severe earthquake in Alaska in September, 1899, the shocks continuing from September 3 to 10. For a distance of 150 miles the shore line was raised from one foot to forty-seven feet, tidal waves rushed in, glaciers gave way, ocean caves appeared, and mountains tumbled into the sea. Some of the shocks were very violent.
