What I choose to write about is the Chicago fire in October 1871.
In 1871 there was a fire and it lasted from October 8 to October 10. It’s believed that about 300 people died within those days. There was about 200 million dollars of damage and reconstruction. It’s said that a cow started the fire by kicking over a lamp in a barn and the flame started from there. Before the great Chicago fire there was 20 minor fires in the city. The Chicago fire destroyed about 17,450 buildings.
This was a good event to write about. You included a lot of great detail as well. Thank you for sharing your post this week.
