A novel based on a true tale of heroism and invention in the
tunnels beneath Lake Erie in 1916 Â This original graphic
novel imagines the lives of blue-collar workers involved in the
real-life Lake Erie tunnel disaster of 1916 in Cleveland. 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.
