Description
By weaving personal accounts of actual survivors together with the carefully researched history of Chicago and the disaster, the author constructs a narrative of the Great Fire of Chicago. He goes on to show how, even in a time of deepest despair, the human spirit triumphed, as the people of Chicago found the courage and strength to build their city once again.
