Author Scott MacGregor and illustrator Gary Dumm tell the intersecting stories of a brilliant African American inventor, Ben Beltran (based on the real-life Garrett Morgan, Sr.), desperate immigrants tunneling beneath Lake Erie, and corrupt overseers who risk countless lives for profit. As historical fiction, Fire on the Water sheds light not only on one of America's earliest man-made ecological disasters but also on racism and the economic disparity between classes in the Midwest at the turn of the century.10aConstruction workers xAccidentszOhio zClevelandvComic books, strips, etc.20aUnderground construction vComic books, strips, etc.20aStructural failures vComic books, strips, etc. 0aComic books, strips, etc.1 aDumm, Gary,eillustrator.1 aBuhle, Paul,d1944- ,ewriter of introduction.  2ddccB  c181006d181006  0071bPPAKcRd2021-01-13oR 741.5973 MACpA01666743r2021-01-13 00:00:00yB
