Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire An extraordinary event happened in Chicago on a calm night in 1871 that left an impression on thousands of people then, and millions of people still to this day. Between the early evening of Sunday, October 8, 1871 and the early morning of Tuesday October 10, fire destroyed practically every building in the heart of Chicago. Property valued at 200,000,000 was turned into rubble, 90,000 people were left homeless, and 300 lost their lives. Some people would say the common designation the “Great Chicago Fire” is an understatement, and that it was the most destructive fire in all of American history. But who is to say that the Chicago fire was the most devastating. On October 8 1871, people from Northeast Wisconsin begged to differ. The most devastating fire in their eyes was the Peshtigo forest fire that swept through all of northeast Wisconsin claiming 1200 lives. It was said that the fire started from natural reasons, and it was a wildfire that rapidly pushed its was all over Wisconsin. The purpose of this paper is to exam why the Chicago fire was past down through generations as a great tale, and why fire, people, chicago, peshtigo, one, out, great, time, cities, both, lives, fires, every, cow, city, caused, been, because, wisconsin, today, same, over, night, history, about, world, through, thousands, story, say, said, october, northeast, new, mean
