Book Description
The all-but-forgotten story of an infamous tragedy that became the political scandal of its era
When the strongest hurricane of the 20th century slammed into the Florida Keys on Labor Day Weekend, 1935, it was as if its 200-mile-an-hour winds had conspired with politics, the Depression, and petty bureaucracy to turn disaster into tragedy. Among the 423 dead were 259 World War I veterans who had been sent by Roosevelt’s New Deal to live in tent cities and build a highway across the keys.
Arriving from Key West in the aftermath to help rescue his fellow veterans, Ernest Hemingway was outraged to learn that they had been prevented from escaping the storm—first by government stinginess, then by the National Guard. His public censure of the government spurred an investigation that many called a whitewash. Hemingway’s Hurricane tells an all-butforgotten tale of terror, heroism, incompetence, and compassion in the face of the overwhelming power of nature.

Most intense storm in US history......................2006-05-29
The hurricane that hit the Florida Keys in 1935 is still listed as the most intense hurricane to make landfall in the US. It is estimated to have had 200 mph winds and although it's eye was not large, the power of this storm surpassed anything imagined.
The victims numbered 423 known dead, 259 of them were veterans of World War I. These men had been "employed" to build a highway connecting the Keys all the way through to Key West. It was a "make work" program seemingly designed to remove the veterans from the spotlight in Washington D.C., like a splinter in the FDR political eye. The veterans had been marching on Washington and camping there demanding pay bonuses that had been promised to them. Many were in desperate situations with the Depression in full form. Sending them far away to the Keys to work and make money must have seemed like the answer to everyone's desires. Tragedy was to unfold.
In September of 1935, as the veterans labored on, the Weather Bureau was tracking a tropical storm that would become the most intense hurricane in US history. Due to a lack of coverage in many areas, the path of the storm had to be projected, leaving room for error. Even so, warnings were put out to the Keys and while locals begin to make preparations, the veterans had no prior experience with hurricanes. They depended on their camp director and other in charge to make the evacuation decisions, which was to include sending a train to remove them from the path of danger. Decisions were either made to late or not made at all and the train would not arrive in time. The train itself, would be washed off the tracks and nearly washed out to sea. 259 veterans would loose their lives.
While there are amazing parallels between this storm of 1935 and Katrina, there are also striking differences. The forecasters urgently warned about Katrina, a more direct and well broadcast warning than in 1935. In both storms people waited to be evacuated by others for a variety of reasons. While the reasons are varied, the reality is that government is not all powerful nor is it capable of dealing with huge scale evacuations. When individuals give up their personal responsibility, the results will be haphazard and even deadly as is proven true in both these hurricanes. When those directly in charge fail to take reasonable steps to protect the very lives they are charged with protecting, the result will be disastrous. In this case the camp director in 1935 and the Mayor of New Orleans seem to have a lot in common.
This is a vivid account of the 1935 hurricane. The stories of the victims and survivors as their island is virtually swept clean, inundated by the storm surge is intense and electrifying. These are stories that have a depth of emotion that was not expected from men who had become inured to hardship and death in WWI. The attempted downplaying of the disaster for political reasons is stunning. While the role of Ernest Hemingway seems nearly minute, he did draw attention to the plight of the veterans.
Phil Scott has written a clear and vivid account of a disaster in the making and the lives that were battered and destroyed. The politics and the human faces of the intrepid veterans combine to form a story well worth the reading.
Uses eyewitness accounts to detail these days of calamity and reconstruct the events in each camp as the hurricane made landfall.......2006-03-04
The great Florida hurricane of 1935 came as no surprise - in Key West Ernest Hemingway had enough warning to secure his boat and house against the storm - yet superintendents in three nearby government work camps did almost nothing to evacuate the men in their charge. Phil Scott details these days of calamity when the Keys were hit by one of the most powerful hurricane to hit the U.S: Hemingway's Hurricane: The Great Florida Keys Storm Of 1935 uses eyewitness accounts to detail these days of calamity and reconstruct the events in each camp as the hurricane made landfall. The probe of the underlying problems involved in evacuation procedures holds plenty of drama and meaning for today's residents.
History, Politics & Victims=A Great Read!.......2006-01-27
I found this book to be a wonderful blend; part history lesson, part Political overview and to a large part, tragedy.
Phil Scott concisely provides the necessary background for a complex period in American history, and deftly sets the stage for the main event.
The "Back story" he tells of the forming of the Veterans Bonus Army, the March on Washington DC, and their dispatched to the Florida Keys as much to get them out of the way as to build a Highway across the Keys, is a story in itself. Once we understand the circumstances of their situation, it almost seems inevitable that they will be abandoned in their time of need.
The author does a marvelous job of introducing us to a variety of characters, from many of the imperiled vets, to the seemingly clueless men responsible for their safety, and the locals, like Ernest Hemingway who were forever changed by this tragedy.
While there certainly are parallels with the mistakes made during Hurricane Katrina, I believe this story is compelling, and stands well on its own merit. And while the Gulf Coast in 2005 had advanced knowledge of the terribly destructive force bearing down on it, the hundreds of veterans in their "temporary" housing on the Keys had very little warning of the Category 5 hurricane that would send hundreds of them to their deaths.
I heartily recommend this book to readers with an interest in the History of this period, Hurricane's as a force in nature, or anyone simply looking for a gripping,highly readable and true story of how quickly things can go wrong.
Good story, ironic twist.......2006-01-27
Phil Scott's book, "Hemingway's Hurricane" is a quick and good read about the century's most powerful hurricane....the category 5 storm that smashed into the Florida Keys over Labor Day weekend in 1935. Finished before Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana, Scott's book takes on a narrative with some unintended consequences and supreme ironies.
Set as a timeline, the author briefs the reader well with his background of the Bonus Army of World War I veterans, their 1932 march on Washington D.C. and the veterans' subsequent detour to the Florida Keys, courtesy of Franklin D. Roosevelt, to give them low-paying jobs. "Hemingway's Hurricane" centers around these hundreds of veterans, their work in the Keys (much of it building roads) and the misfortune they had at being directly in the path of the hurricane. Scott relates all of this in a nicely paced way. Yet two things stand out in his book....there's very little to do with Ernest Hemingway....he makes not much more than a minor appearance at the beginning and at the end, so the title of the book is confusing. The author also provides too many cameo appearances by others who were part of the storm and the recovery. Fewer characters with more time spent with them would have increased my enjoyment of Scott's work.
Yet it is the comparison to Katrina, not mentioned in "Hemingway's Hurricane" that makes for the unintended attraction. The 1935 storm had its own version of FEMA (FERA) and a major player, Fred Ghent, the director of the veteran's camps, who was the Michael Brown of his day. His decision not to get a relief train down in time to evacuate the veterans was one of the worst miscalculations of the storm. It's almost as if we can hear FDR saying, "Ghentie, you're doin' a heckuva job!" Perhaps the oddest and saddest comparison is that Katrina, hitting Louisiana almost seventy years to the day after the Keys hurricane, underscores that government hasn't come all that far in preparedness, rescue and recovery.
"Hemingway's Hurricane" is a good book but not a great one. However, Scott's attention to detail make it worth the read and the story is one that has needed to be told.
Scott made me care.......2005-12-23
I've never had an interest in visiting the Florida Keys, nor truly understood the plight of post World War I veterans -- even though my grandfather had been one -- but with the publishing of Hemingway's Hurricane by Phil Scott, I found myself caring. I now want to visit the Keys and explore, where this amazing tragedy took place, and to see first-hand just what it meant to span approximately 130 miles of water and islands by both train track and roadway. Scott's book provides both the necessary exposition to pave the way, while building suspense for the pending storm, much like those of us in television land find ourselves checking cable channels for updates on where and when storms will hit in the present day. From the building of a rail line as early as 1912 (the year the Titanic sank), known as Flagler's Folly, all the way to Key West to the semi-permanent Hooverville encampments and Bonus Marches near the White House during the Depression years, which encompasses public dissatisfaction with the federal government
(long before the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam Anti-War activities occupied our nation's attention), this book truly prepares the reader for nature's destructive force. Scott also manages to draw the reader in long before Ernest Hemingway enters the picture, but the Hemingway angle helps make a timely connection between gross
negligence in 1935 and the equally unexpected results of 2005's Hurricane Katrina
and the combined slow response from today's federal, state, and local governments.
I always expect my high school English and journalism students to "extend the text" to seek connections and meaning outside of the printed pages. For this reason, I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about how our government operates. There are lessons to be learned here, even if the events took place 70 years ago. And although the book moves quickly, I find myself stopping to check one or both of the two maps detailing both the Florida Keys and placement of the work camps, plus I find myself delving into the internet to pursue further inquiry. I do this because Scott's narrative and depth of information has given me reason to care and explore further this fascinating true story.
Book Description
"In the dream I see the yellowing Mississippi sky...I feel the edges of the wind, quick and rough a and nearer than l ever believed it could be, cutting an undertow in the now unbreathable air, It is close now, stealing by degrees across the pasture that spreads like a dark, lake behind the store, its black belly bulging straight out as it begins to feed on scrub pine, then on the girded steel of the supermarket, on /be cars once parked in even rows, on living tissue pliant as clay. if there is time, then there is nothing to do but run."
At 4:33 P.M. on March 3, 1966, an F-5 tornado, the deadliest category, struck central Mississippi, killing fifty-seven people. Fourteen of those victims died in South Jackson, thirteen of them in a newly built shopping mall, the Candlestick Shopping Center. In minutes, what had been a row of nearly maintained shops was transformed into a scene of unimaginable devastation. Lives were changed forever. A World Turned Over recounts what happened on the day of the Candlestick Tornado, as it came to be known in Jackson, and how its aftermath still reverberates today.
Returning to the neighborhood where she grew up, Lorian Hemingway remembers the Jackson that she knew: a Southern town defined as much by its warm creeks and catfish ponds and the smell of clay in the air as by its inhabitants -- families with a deep sense of place and of community. When the tornado struck, it destroyed more than buildings and it reached beyond the deaths it caused. For those people who, like Hemingway, grew up there, Jackson changed in an instant from a safe and familiar place into an alien landscape of death and destruction.
Hemingway vividly re-creates the day of the tornado, drawing on both news stories and interviews with survivors. She tells us about Donna Durr, who with her baby was lifted in her car seventy-five feet up into the vortex; Juland Jones, who worked at the local hot dog shop and was the only African-American to die at Candlestick; eighteen-year-old Ronny Hannis, who survived to help rescue others, oblivious to his own life-threatening wounds inflicted by broken flying glass and debris. Returning to the scene more than thirty years later, Hemingway finds many of the survivors and their families still in Jackson, their memories now as much a part of the landscape as the creeks and fields. "A place does not love you," she writes, "only people do, but a place gives up what it is made of in an elemental rush, so that once you breathe it in, the chemistry in you changes."
As lyrical as it is haunting, A World Turned Over is an unforgettable story of awesome destruction and the extraordinary resilience of ordinary people, a moving exploration of faith and hope in the face of tragedy.
Customer Reviews:
Could've been a better, shorter book.......2006-02-05
The story of the Candlestick tornado and the people who died as a result of it is sad and shocking, and compelled me to keep reading, but I often found myself skimming through parts of this book. Why? Because the author kept repeating the same information and ideas. The book would have been much more readable and would have had a stronger impact if the repetitive passages had been edited out.
If you have a strong interest in learning more about the sad events and loss of life at Candlestick, you may want to read this book. Be prepared, however, to wade through a lot of excess prose.
genetic legacy no guarantee of inherited talent.......2005-06-22
I'm afraid I agree with Mr. Rubendall. As a weather afficianado I began WORLD TURNED OVER with enthusiasm, but Ms. Hemingway's self-important florid prose and sticky nostalgia eclipsed the real tragedy that cost many of her chlidhood acquaintances their lives. In dwelling overly long on her own recollections and, one suspects, in trying to ape the style of her famous grandfather (a lack of contractions doesn't make writing more profound, just more pompous!), Ms. Hemingway actually does the Candlestick tornado, its victims, and its survivors, a disservice. The book would have been much better off written in the analytical style and format of, for instance, Sebastian Junger's PERFECT STORM, or Erik Larson's ISAAC'S STORM; more journalistic integrity and less faux lyricism would have benefitted Candlestick's survivors and victims and made this a much more engaging read. If you're fascinated with weather, you'd be better off with the above books--or nonfiction accounts provided by tornado survivors--or just watching the Weather Channel's Storm Story account of the Candlestick tornado. My apologies to the author, but WORLD TURNED OVER was a real disappointment.
A piece of history for a fellow Jacksonian.......2003-09-21
I discovered this book through a mention of it in the New York Times Book Review. It caught my eye because I grew up in Jackson, MS. I had heard about the Candlestick Tornado many times in childhood, but knew little about the details. I really enjoyed Ms. Hemingway's ability to evoke the Jackson environment. We also ran behind the fog machine as children, although I lived in North Jackson and there we called it "the mosquito man." Ms. Hemingway writes lyrically, and her descriptions of the people and families affected by the tornado are quite affecting. I had tears in my eyes several times. The only reason I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 is because the book is a little repetitive, and because I wish she would have told us a little more about the aftermath, how the shopping center owner was able to afford to rebuild his building. A few facts and figures would have added to the book for me. Although I live in the North now, I can say that fellow Southerners will recognize immediately how well Ms. Hemingway describes Southern culture, both then and now. Northerners may learn a thing or two about Southerners by reading this book.
lushly written.......2003-09-09
Lorian Hemingway's "A World Turned Over" is beautifully, lushly written. In a dreamer's evocative prose, she tells the story of the severe tornado that struck Jackson, Mississippi, in the spring of 1966, destroying the Candlestick Shopping Center. Hemingway, a girl of 10 at the time, had moved away shortly before the storm came.
More than thirty years later, she returned to there to claim her own memories, and to record the recollections of people whose lives had been forever changed, some by the loss of a family member, some by witnessing sites that burned upon their souls. When they see the sky taking on that peculiar yellow tinge, when they hear the sirens, their bodies respond with pounding hearts, shallow breathing, goosebumps. They react not only to the sight and sounds, but to their own memories.
Suffused with that sense of place which other southern writers also express so well, with the scents, sounds, sights of that region called "home", Hemingway's book will transport you to the Jackson she knew as a child, and to that March afternoon when the familiar world was turned upside down.
This book deserves a wide readership! Highly recommended!
More childhood memoir than disaster book.......2003-04-01
This book seems out of place in the "disaster book" genre. The author seems more concerned with reliving her childhood. Not a very good read.

Oswald : An American Osprey.......2007-05-22
What a neat book - we were pleasantly surprised! We ordered this book to accompany research our grade two daughter was doing on ospreys. She had chosen ospreys as her topic given that we have two nests near our summer home here in Canada and because we see ospreys down in Florida while visiting her grandparents. This book follows a pair of opsreys living near the Ding Darling Bird Sanctuary on Sanibel Island in Florida - a wonderful area that our family has visited. The author weaves facts about ospreys into the fictional story. We read the book in more than one sitting and had an atlas close by to help with the geography!
great illustrations to go with a great book.......2001-06-19
This book has an interesting and realistic plot. This helps the reader see the world through an osprey's eyes and is a great read from beggining to end. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to look at any situation through a bird's eye view!

Customer Reviews:
It's complete... generally speaking........2007-10-02
This manual is a great starter. It has general information about all aspects of fishing, fresh water and salt, spinning casting and trolling, even fly fishing.
However it left me a little uninformed with specifics for certain regions and technique. Which I cannot totally agree with as a "Comlete" book of rigs and tackle.
It is however a great purchase for the fisherman who is just getting started or for a gift for that aspiring fisherman who needs or desires information on a wide variety of setups and general techniques.
I would give it 5 star review as an aforementioned gift or purchse in that case.
ciao, Scott
Slightly Disappointed.......2006-07-04
I expected more information about particular species and their habits and what rigs to use. The book was VERY general. Good for a beginner but lacking detail in what others beyond this level might want. It has a thorough explanation about knots.
Again- good for beginners but not what I was looking for or expected.
TERRIFIC AS A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE.......2005-10-25
YOU'LL BE MORE SATISFIED WITH THIS BOOK IF YOU THINK OF IT AS A SPECIFIC ITEM REFERENCE MANUAL.IT'S NOT A MEMORY RIDDEN TALE FROM SOME OLD TIMER OF FISHING 'BACK IN THE DAY' ... SIMPLY PUT ITS NOT A PAGE ONE TO PAGE 256 STRAIGHT THROUGH READ AND YOU'LL REALIZE THAT SHORTLY AFTER YOU NOD OFF TRYING TO GET THROUGH CHAPTER 1'S LENGTHY DISECTION OF RODS AND REELS ... YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE THE REAL VALUE OF THIS BOOK IS TO USE IT RIGHT WHEN YOU NEED IT ... EVEN DURING AN ACTUAL OUTING WHEN ... FOR EXAMPLE .. YOU SUDDENLY REALIZE YOU'VE TOTALLY FORGOTTEN HOW TO TIE A UNIKNOT, OR YOU CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE HECK THE 'COAT HANGER' (SPREADER) IS THAT YOU FOUND IN YOUR FRIENDS TACKLEBOX ...SADLY, THERE IS NO MATCHING TACKLE TO CERTAIN FISH,AND A LOT OF GLARING AND/OR ANNOYING OMISSIONS SUCH AS THE BEST WAY TO RIG A FROZEN ANCHOVY FOR EXAMPLE; ON THE OTHER HAND THE WRITER SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES A PIC OF HOW TO RIG A DEAD SHRIMP ... I WANTED TO SEE A RIGGED FROZEN ANCHOVY SOOO BADLY ... (WHO DECIDED THE SHRIMP WAS MORE IMPORTANT ? ...)
THE MATERIAL IS HELPFUL ... IF IT IS INCLUDED ... BUT FRUSTRATING WHEN A CHAPTER SUDDENLY BECOMES 'UNEVEN' IN ITS INSTRUCTIONAL STRENGTH ... AS IF THE WRITER WAS CONTINUALLY 'WARMING' ONLY TO HIS FAVORITE FISHING EXPERTISE ... AND SKIMMING OVER THINGS HE KNEW LESS OF ... THIS WRITER DID NO RESEARCH AT ALL OF ANY KNOWLEDGE HE KNEW LESS ABOUT,IT WAS SIMPLY IGNORED OR SKIMMED OVER AS HE SIMPLY DREW ONLY FROM HIS OWN EXPERIENCE ... I'D BUY IT AGAIN,AND I DO KEEP IT WITH ME WHILE FISHING, BUT YOU'LL NOT FIND IT QUITE AS 'COMPLETE' AS THE COVER CLAIMS IT IS.
Everything you need..........2005-09-20
Easy to read and very informative. It will give you the insight and knowledge to make sure your rig holds up once you've gotten the fish to bite. This book goes into detail on everything from hook sizes to which rigs could be vulnerable to sharp teeth. I would recommend this book to any fisherman.
A Must for novice to professional.......2005-08-13
Excellent from beginning to end,from learning knots to rigging baits this book is for all. to use as a reference for professionals,and beginners alike. very easy and informative and easy illustrations.this book was written from a man who has a ton of expertise and is an excellent freindly user guide.
Book Description
Vic's Latest Knowledge Will Help You Catch'em...
This new edition is a major encore for Vic Dunaway, whose byline has been known to anglers all over the country, and in foreign lands as well, for more than 40 years. He has written hundreds of articles for national and regional magazines, and thousands of newspaper columns. He is, of course, a book author and also has appeared on four different television networks, as well as numerous local and syndicated programs.
Though skilled in many different angling specialties, and many writing styles, his strongest interest is in the teaching of fishing skills and enjoyment. Perhaps no other fishing writer has his knack for selecting just the right information on a particular angling subject and presenting it in the quickest, clearest manner--without unnecessary frills or padding.
Dunaway was founding editor when publisher Karl Wickstrom began Florida Sportsman Magazine more than a quarter of a century ago, and has played a leading role in the publication's growth into the largest and most authoritative monthly fishing magazine in the country.

Useful reference.......2002-06-12
This is a good beginner's guide to many types of fishing. It covers many different topics. These include: types of gear, types of line, lures, knots, rigging methods, and accessories. Instructions on technique are clear and illustrated by simple drawings. I found the section on leader types and rigs to be very helpful. While this book certainly won't make you an expert on any one type of fishing it would certainly help you get a start in just about any of them. I think it would be a useful reference to even the most experienced of anglers.
For the price it would be very hard to beat.
Bla, bla, bla........2002-04-26
Too much words, few and lousy b/w pictures. I expected more from the cover of the book and the reviews of other people.
Vic Dunaway's Complete Book of Baits Rigs and Tackle.......2002-02-12
This is another "general" treatise on fishing tackle. I think books such as this and ones such as "Hook, Line and Sinker" tend to be of little help to someone interested in a particular type of fishing. Books that attempt to cover all bases in fishing, in my opinion, end up missing the ball altogether. If this author wrote about cars, he'd cover everything from the family mini-van to Indy race cars. No real help to someone looking for specific information on a pick-up truck. Best to stick to narrow subject such as "fly fishing" or "saltwater fishing", as there is a world of individualized information in each type of fishing.
Money well spent.......2000-09-07
Jam packed with good information. Covers basic, and advanced techniques. Helped me catch more fish off the local pier.
A great fishing reference book-a" must have" for any angler........1999-11-19
This book is a complete reference guide without being redundant. Simple illustrations and easy to follow instructions make this book helpful to any angler.
Customer Reviews:
Useful and interesting reference.......2003-07-06
I got this book to learn more about the more boring types of fishing tackle, hooks, sinkers, rigs, etc. I wasn't expecting it to be so interesting! Author explains some common mistakes and myths about fishing tackle usage. This book would probably would only be this interesting to a fisherman, but sometimes I have a hard time putting it down. My only qualm with the book is that the line drawings could be a little better (i.e. the spinner blades drawing). And this is a BIG book, you really get your money's worth!
