Earthquake Exodus, 1906 unveils a series of events, monumental in their day, but largely forgotten within a generation. Historian Richard Schwartz has plumbed the depths of the impact of the San Francisco earthquake within the framework of the influx of refugees to Berkeley and the ten-week relief effort that followed, offering up the singularly human details and subtleties of that period like a feast.

Richard Schwartz is a noted California historian and author of the following books: Berkeley 1900; Daily Fife at the Turn of the Century; and The Circle of Stones, An Investigation of the Circle of Stones in Stampede Valley, Sierra County, California. He lives in Berkeley, California, where he also works as a building contractor.
