Here is a photo postcard showing a horse being rescued from the floodwaters that inundated Columbus Ohio in March 1913. The Great Flood of 1913 occurred between March 23 and March 26, after major rivers in the central and eastern United States flooded from runoff and several days of heavy rain. Related deaths and damage in the United States were widespread and extensive. While the exact number is not certain, flood-related deaths in Ohio, Indiana, and eleven other states are estimated at approximately 650. The official death toll range for Ohio falls between 422 and 470. Flood-related death estimates in Indiana range from 100 to 200. More than a quarter million people were left homeless. This card was published by Haenlein Bros of Columbus. Used and postmarked East Liberty, Ohio April 19, 1913. Light crease and corner wear.
