Augustus Fuller, also known as Luther Fuller and John Maynard, was the helmsman of the steamboat ''Erie''. He died on August 9, 1841 at 23 years of age, at the wheel of the ship which was destroyed by fire. He was praised for his heroism for remaining at his post. ==Luther== On the evening of August 9, 1841, the Buffalo ''Commercial Advertiser and Journal'' reported the death of the wheelsman "Luther Fuller", one of many who died during the conflagration of ''Erie'' on August 9, 1841.〔()〕 Fuller was at the wheel when the fire broke out at 8:10 pm. He was praised by Capt. T. J. Titus (one of the few survivors) when he testified before the Coroner's Inquest at Buffalo, New York. He stated: "I think Fuller remained at the wheel and never left it until burned to death; he was always a resolute man in obeying orders". Titus in his testimony did not specify what Fuller's given name was. When Fuller's body was recovered, the Erie ''Gazette'' called him "Luther" Fuller instead of his real name. It was later established that the Buffalo ''Commercial Advertiser '' had previously incorrectly written his name.〔(John Maynard Home Page )〕〔Norman Barry, ("Why Luther?" )〕
