Join author Marilyn (Davidson) Elliott to celebrate the launch of her first book The Blind Mechanic: The Amazing Story of Eric Davidson, Survivor of the 1917 Halifax Explosion.
The Blind Mechanic tells the story of Eric Davidson, a man who lost both eyes in the Halifax Explosion when he was just two years old. Against all odds, he taught himself to become an auto mechanic and had a successful decades-long career as “one of the boys.”
Written by his daughter, this inspiring book gives new insights into the 1917 Halifax Explosion and contains never-before-seen documents and photographs.
