The Great Fire of 1871 used to be one in every of so much colossal disasters in American history. Overnight, the flourshing city of Chicago used to be transformed into a smoldering wasteland. The wear used to be so profound that few people believed town could ever upward thrust again.

By weaving personal accounts of actual survivors in conjunction with the carefully researched history of Chicago and the disaster, Jim Murphy constructs a riveting narrative that recreates the development with drama and immediacy. And in spite of everything, he reveals how, even in a time of deepest dispair, the human spirit triumphed, as the folk of Chicago found the courage and strength to build their city once again.
