Product Information

Ashes Under Water is the riveting untold story of the 1915 sinking of the SS Eastland , a Lake Michigan excursion boat, which rolled over while tied to its dock, within feet of one the busiest intersections in Chicago's famed Loop District. Horrified morning commuters watched it all unfold. The final death toll would not come for weeks but would be 835 people, including 21 entire families . The trial would make national headlines and cause public outra≥ the effort to bring the guilty ship owners to justice was thwarted by future star lawyer Clarence Darrow. Darrow defended the only true hero of the ship, engineer Joseph Erickson, whose wealthy bosses laid all the blame at his feet. A national disaster and tragedy, a courtroom drama, corrupt businessmen and Chicago politics, and a story of the cost of America's industrial might all in one gripping story. Author Michael McCarthy takes the reader back one hundred years to the one of the most shocking accidents in American history. But the aftermath and cover-up just may have been even worse.

Reviews
"This is a tour-de-force from an enormously gifted writer. In quickly sketched chapters McCarthy depicts a mysterious early-twentieth-century shipping disaster--the weather, the moguls, the greed, the ads, the hundreds of working people setting out for a picnic who ended in a makeshift morgue. The second half of the book brilliantly tracks the legal maneuvering and the murky trial that ultimately exonerated the crew, government inspectors, and the owners. Ashes Under Water is prodigiously researched and richly imagined. McCarthy's vivid images kept bringing me back to our own contemporary society with its increasing disparity between the middle class and the powerful rich."--Jeanne Murray Walker, author of The Geography of Memory, "From the Chicago River, Michael McCarthy has dredged a tale previously lost amid Chicago's flow of corrupt politics and Industrial Age greed. Thanks to McCarthy's extensive reporting and clear prose, we now know exactly how and why this fascinating story was willfully obscured and long buried. McCarthy has done not only American history a huge favor, he's given voice to the hundreds of unfortunate souls who so tragically lost their lives at the hands of a powerful few."  - David Mendell, author , Obama: From Promise to Power   "This is a tour de force from an enormously gifted writer. In quickly sketched chapters McCarthy depicts a mysterious early-twentieth-century shipping disaster--the weather, the moguls, the greed, the ads, the hundreds of working people setting out for a picnic who ended in a makeshift morgue. The second half of the book brilliantly tracks the legal maneuvering and the murky trial that ultimately exonerated the crew, government inspectors, and the owners. Ashes Under Water is prodigiously researched and richly imagined. McCarthy's vivid images kept bringing me back to our own contemporary society with its increasing disparity between the middle class and the powerful rich." -- Jeanne Murray Walker, author of The Geography of Memory   "Michael McCarthy's Ashes Under Water is more than just an expert and intense dissection of a notable and heart-wrenching tragedy -- it's a compelling and well-written portrait of an era, and shines a discerning light on the vibrant personalities of all stripes that staked their claim to the American Dream at the turn of the last century." -- James Carl Nelson, author , The Remains of Company D: A Story of the Great War and Five Lieutenants, After more than a decade of research, journalist and Chicago resident Michael McCarthy shares a heartbreaking history in Ashes Under Water: The SS Eastland and the Shipwreck that Shook America. McCarthy gives this little-known Lake Michigan tragedy a thorough and compassionate telling and covers the media frenzy and indictments that followed. . . .Plentiful notes and a lengthy bibliography provide opportunity for further study for those interested. Ashes Under Water is carefully researched yet compelling told and combines the appeal of famous historical figures and places with everyday men and women struggling to survive. In this thoughtful treatment, the Eastland's story will deservedly capture the sympathy and imagination of diverse readers.
