THE FIRST SURVIVORS
Richard Robins
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The First Survivors
Plunged Over Tahquamenon Falls. And Somehow—They Survived.
No one had ever survived the falls. Until they did.
In 1957, two siblings were pulled into the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula wilderness—and into the violent grip of the Tahquamenon River. Swept over a 50-foot waterfall that had claimed every life before them, they should have died. Instead, they became something else: the first to live through it.
Told by survivor Richard Robins, this is the astonishing true story of that day. But The First Survivors is more than a moment of fate—it’s a meditation on what it means to come back from the edge. Woven with Native American legend, spiritual insight, and an unshakable sibling bond, the story moves beyond survival into sacred terrain.
Set against the mist and mystery of Michigan’s wild north, this book belongs on the shelf beside Into the Wild, The Long Walk, and The Emerald Mile. It asks what the river takes—and what it leaves behind.
If you’ve ever stood at the edge of something vast, this book is for you.
