Three postcards by F.A Rosselle dated 1912. Feature the effects of the Mississippi Flood of 1912, efforts to contain the rising waters, and refugees from the flooding. A late snowfall coupled with heavy spring rain gave way to devastating flooding along the Lower Mississippi River that killed 200 people and caused $70 million in damage.
