A Story of Shipwreck on Lake Erie

John Wesley Kirk's Account of the Shipwreck of the G.B. Griffith - John Wesley Kirk was an early Moab settler. Here is his fascinating account of surviving a famous shipwreck on Lake Erie. Spencer Hawley says: That's cool but John Wesley didn't come to Moab, just his son grandad Kirk. Just say his son was an early Moab settler. Grandad Kirk grew up hearing the story of how JW's hair went white. It would have factored into his thirst for adventure, and his coming to Moab.




Thanks to my son Spencer Hawley, who has taken on the enormous job of family historian.
