In this week’s episode, I continue reading from "Who Speaks for the Little Feller?"—Dwight Boyer’s unforgettable chapter in "True Tales of the Great Lakes" (1971), one of the earliest and most detailed accounts of the Eastland disaster. A meticulous maritime journalist, Boyer combined accuracy with deep empathy, giving voice to the people whose lives were forever altered that day.
This isn’t just history—it’s storytelling with heart. Names, quotes, context—it’s all there. Decades before anyone else tried to piece this together, Boyer had already done the work. George Hilton later built on that foundation with scholarly precision in Eastland: Legacy of the Titanic (1995), reinforcing what Boyer had captured through journalism and humanity.
Yet, in the 21st century, so many of those same stories still missing from modern retellings--specially the ones that are recycled constantly.
This episode is about honoring the storytellers who came before—and the real people whose lives they refused to let slip away. The work was already done. It’s time we reconnect with it.
