Transcriber's note
Cover created by Transcriber, using an illustration from the original book, and placed in the Public Domain.
A tornado near Elmwood, Nebraska. A painting made from what is probably one of the most remarkable photographs ever taken of a tornado. The original photograph was made in two parts, as the photographer was too close to get the whole funnel cloud into the field of his camera.
