"The numerous illustrations and period photographs as well as numerous appendixes make this a definitive account."--Daniel Liestman, Seattle Pacific University Library, "Hilton has written a comprehensive and exhaustive study of the worst disaster in Chicago's history. . . . Alterations and the addition of more lifeboats and rafts after the Titanic sank made the Eastland so unstable that it rolled over in the Chicago River. . . . The vessel's entire career is examined, and . . . the disaster itself is meticulously described and analyzed. Hilton also critically evaluates the subsequent civil and criminal court proceedings, raising a number of issues relating to marine safety regulations and the compensation of the victims' families."-- Choice, "Irony and tragedy combine in this account of America's worst marine disaster. . . .
