Thank you Lori - You know how curious I was about William Eckman! ... Neither he nor you has disappointed here - An interesting man and his story told with your usual expertise. You can see how his logistical skills may have contributed to his and George's trip down the Ohio and Mississippi ... And the tale of South Bay Bessie was a bonus.
Me either , tho living in MN there were always stories of sea monsters in traveling thru Lake Superior and the Great Lakes system. In research, I came across scores of stories about this legend so thoughts is capitalize on the connection for a little lightheartedness after the war reports.
I have never heard of the Lake Erie serpent!

Thanks, @Jane! I’m glad your curiosity has been satisfied…at least on the topic of William 😉
