About the Author
This story of pioneers and intrepid immigrants is by a writer with a fitting background. At the age of sixteen, author, John Textor, arrived in this country on one of the last ships still engaged in the transatlantic passenger service. Later he served three years in the US Navy and received MBA graduate degree from the Northwestern University. After a career as an engineering manager, the author now lives in a home overlooking Lake Michigan. His passion for history and his love for local nautical stories led him to work with the descendants of the survivors in writing the tribute to the Phoenix's passengers and crew.
From the Inside Flap
PHOENIX - THE FATEFUL JOURNEY WITH A MAP AND 24 ILLUSTRATIONS In the 1840's, the New Territories around Lake Michigan were a magnet for both American pioneers and venturesome European immigrants. The fates of both of those passenger groups intermingled aboard the doomed steamship Phoenix. This book, a journey through our heritage, describes the passengers, their reasons for travel, and their encounters along the perilous voyage. The reader will share the experiences of the main group during their two-months spent on a sailing ship crossing the Atlantic. From New York, the journey continues on the spectacular Hudson River and the marvelous Erie Canal. Finally, all passengers board the Phoenix for the 1,000 mile-long cruise from Buffalo, New York to Wisconsin and Illinois ports. The weather is foul but they are sustained by the dreams of free and prosperous lives on their new homesteads. The historical accounts of the Phoenix surpass the story of the Titanic with a rich drama of colorful characters and their inspiring acts of heroism.
