Join John U. Bacon, a Michigan alum and New York Times bestselling author, to discuss his new book, The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald. This definitive account of America's most famous maritime disaster draws on more than 100 interviews with families, friends, and former crewmates to capture both the drama of the storm and the human cost of the tragedy. Bacon weaves together the economic importance of Great Lakes shipping, the lives of those who sailed, and the lasting legacy of the sinking to create a gripping and deeply moving narrative. The Gales of November is already receiving widespread praise. Appetizers will be served, and copies of The Gales of November and Bacon's other books will be available for purchase and signing.
Cost: AAUM Members: $10; Non-Members: $20
