Thank you for the history lesson! I'm a bit embarrassed because I've never heard about this incident and I live in the area. (As you know!) You did a great job capturing the events of that fateful voyage. The ending gave me chills!

Love those historical true stories - however; is the message that the reader takes away from this tragic story..."Always take heed of what the preacher says?" Some are just soothsayers; so how does one know a true prophet? Those are just some of the questions that conjured up in my mind as I read this interesting story of yesteryear. Written well.

What a sad story. Can you imagine if you'd been one of those who decided to change their plans instead of going ahead with their plans?? Interesting.

The link at the bottom of the story no longer works. Here's another link I found: https://www.postbulletin.com/news/local/book-details-lake-pepin-tragedy/article_aa2af5be-6108-5cfd-b4aa-c9a5de9628d8.html
