What happened during the 1921 flood in Pueblo Colorado?

Pueble Colorado Flood of 1921 After losing a family member, I acquired a lot of old letters of all kinds. In reading a letter to my Grandmother from a friend telling her of the Pueblo flood and how she lost her father in that flood as well as a number of other friends, I got on line to see what I could find regarding this flood. I am quoting from this letter in the manner that is was written, having changed nothing.

The letter was written on July 1, 1921 and posted from Pueblo, Colorado on July 2, 1921 the river had been rising for to days. Then when the flood came it came in just a wall of water. 10 to 12 feet high.It left nothing in it's path.

The news papers has never gotten half. This is something that can't be exaggerated. Pueblo is trying hard to keep things down for of course it hurts their city, however, there were about 3,000 lives lost.

O there is not words to express the grief and sorrow the loss of lives and loss of prosperity. Many bodies will never be found. We had a man and his wife working for us.

They were drownded to. S body was found but poor Mary has never been found yet.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
