Autumn gales have pursued mariners across the Great Lakes for centuries. On Friday, November 7, 1913, those gales captured their prey. After four days of winds up to 90mph, freezing temperatures, whiteout blizzard conditions, & mountainous seas, 19 ships had been lost, two dozen had been thrown ashore, 238 sailors were dead, & the city of Cleveland was confronting the worst natural disaster in its history. In White Hurricane, writer & mariner David G. Brown combines narrative i with factual depth to re-create the events of the "perfect storm" that struck America. Interweaving human drama, mystery, & historical consequence, Brown has created a vast epic ranging over Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, & Erie & echoing down the decades.
