In 1860, the sidewheel steamer Lady Elgin sank after colliding with the schooner Augusta, leaving more than 300 dead in Lake Michigan’s cold waters. While the tragedy shocked the nation, it was the Augusta that carried the stain of guilt. Branded reckless, unlucky, and even cursed, the schooner became known as the “Pariah of the Great Lakes.” | Thumbwind

We dive into their lives so that we might learn from them, and we try to spread their messages so that others can learn too. For every single one of the people we've profiled, I can tell you some little thing I've taken away and tried to apply to my own life. Not long ago we lost of one our very favorite Heroes. Maybe you remember a lady named Elgin Skewes, who was 104 year
