On November 18, 1958, when the limestone carrier \u003ci\u003eCarl D. Bradley\u003c\/i\u003e broke up during a raging storm on Lake Michigan, it became the largest ship in Great Lakes' history to vanish beneath storm-tossed waves. Along with the \u003ci\u003eBradley\u003c\/i\u003e, thirty-three crew members perished. Most of the casualties hailed from the little harbor town of Rogers City, Michigan, a community that was stung with grief when, in an instant, twenty-three women became widows and fifty- three children were left fatherless. Nevertheless, this is also a story of survival, as it recounts the tale of two of the ship's crew, whose fifteen-hour ordeal on a life raft, in gale-force winds and 25 foot waves, is a remarkable story of endurance and tenacity. \u003cbr\u003e Written in a style that is equally appealing to young adults and adult readers, \u003ci\u003eBlack November\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of adventure, courage, heroism, and tragedy. Kantar, the author of \u003ci\u003e29 Missing\u003c\/i\u003e, a book about the loss of the great lakes freighter the Edmund Fitzgerald, has once again crafted a dramatic narrative that is both informative and compelling. Although the \u003ci\u003eCarl D. Bradley\u003c\/i\u003e has been called \"the ship that time forgot,\" \u003ci\u003eBlack November\u003c\/i\u003e recalls that tragic day nearly fifty years ago and is a moving tribute to the ship and its crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Kantar is Professor of English and Director of the Writing Center at Ferris State University.
