The reading of Freshwater Fury is exciting and holds our interest until the saga is complete . . . an exciting human drama. Mr Barcus' drawings of scenes of the storm add a touch often lacking with such events, which obviously have no photographic record.--Henry D. Brown former Director, Detroit Historical Museum
