Sinopsis

In Sewell Ford's whimsical novel, "Wilt Thou Torchy," readers are invited into the rollicking adventures of the endearing character Torchy Blane, a spirited young woman whose unyielding determination and quick wit lead her through a barrage of comedic misadventures. Ford's writing captures both the humor and the nuances of early 20th-century American society, employing a lively, conversational style that draws readers into a world of charming eccentricities and delightful dialogue. The novel is set against the backdrop of urban life in the 1920s, reflecting the optimism and the frivolity of the Roaring Twenties while simultaneously critiquing the social norms of the period, making it a treasure trove of historical context and literary wit. Sewell Ford was an American author, known for his sharp humor and relatable characters, who found inspiration in the cultural shifts of his time. His works often reflect the experiences and struggles of ordinary people, revealing insights into the complexities of human nature and societal expectations. Ford craved to entertain as well as enlighten, and "Wilt Thou Torchy" embodies his ability to fuse humor with genuine sentiment while showcasing the independent spirit of women in literature. For readers seeking a delightful escape filled with nuanced humor, engaging characters, and historical charm, "Wilt Thou Torchy" is an exceptional recommendation. This novel not only offers a compelling narrative but also invites readers to reflect on the evolution of gender roles and the enduring allure of a plucky heroine. Immerse yourself in Ford's vibrant world and discover the timeless adventures of Torchy Blane.

The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. 
 
 
 
Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. 
 
 
 
Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland, the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons, a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin, a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin, a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. 
 
The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.
