September 21, 1938 will long be remembered as the
date of the Disastrous Hurricane which swept New England,
an upheaval of Nature seldom, if ever known to this part of
the country.
In its wake it left behind a horrible death toll of over
600, with another 100 persons still missing; nearly 6000
homes were completely destroyed and the total damage
amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars. The fury of
the wind crippled power, light and telephone systems, up-
rooted hundreds of thousands of great trees and countless
smaller trees, and wrecked an untold amount of boats and
small craft.
