Disaster on the Mississippi: The Sultana Tragedy   Leave a comment

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/05/0501_river5.html

Such a big, almost forgotten tragedy. It’s a shame that the government at the time didn’t stand up for the men who had been willing to give their lives in the war and now had to endure such a horrible episode. lt’s important to remember and honor the people who died on board Sultana, and also to keep the memory of the survivors.

l came to this site through the buzz section of SU so l don’t know why it tells me it’s a discovery. lt’s one more of the many sites that feature tv shows, movies and cartoons. The considerable number of such sites makes me think that the millions of costumers that the satellite tv networks claim exist only in their management’s imagination.
Well, the section l like is cartoons. l found some more here and also here.

Part of sololiteratura.com. Links to the text of his works Pedro Pαramo and El Llano en Llamas, two Mexican literature classics, the greatest in their kind. If you want to read the best literature in Spanish, it has to be Juan Rulfo.
