The worst flood in the history of Indianapolis occurred March 25-27, 1913. Large portions of the city were under 10 feet of water. When collapsed bridges cut off the west side of town, Captain George V. Coffin and a handful of Indianapolis Police officers found themselves with 7,000 homeless people to rescue, feed and clothe. What they did that week moved the city to enshrine them on a Flood Roll of Honor.Using the stories from the Indianapolis Star and News, author Patrick Pearsey has built an hourly record of the rescues, the tragic deaths and the men and women who became heroes in this catastrophe. This book is illustrated with dozens of photographs, some never before published.
