"Hecock, The Last Hour" is the first in a series of historical fiction steampunk graphic novels set in the year 1912, on the Niagara Falls Ice Bridge. The series celebrates the courage of Burrell Hecock, an ordinary 17-year-old who is faced with the extraordinary decision of saving his own life or the lives of others when the ice bridge breaks free from the shores beneath the Falls. While this first in the series is as historically accurate as possible, based on family archives, witness' descendants and news reports, the balance of the books depart from reality and flow into historical fiction and fancy, with a splash of steam punk.
