Peshtigo Fire

On October 8, 1871, the most devastating forest fire in American history swept through northeast Wisconsin. The blaze began at an unknown location in the dense Wisconsin forest. It first spread to the small village of Sugar Bush, where every resident was killed. Strong winds then sent the 200-foot flames racing northeast toward the neighboring community of Peshtigo. Temperatures reached 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, causing trees to literally explode in the flames. The wildfire even jumped across the Peshtigo River, trapping both sides of the town in flames.

After raging for about two hours, the fire burned more than 280,000 acres in Oconto, Marinette, Shawano, Brown, Kewaunee, Door, Manitowoc and Outagamic counties. The human toll was 1,152 known dead and another 350 believed to be dead. Another 1,500 were seriously injured and at least 3,000 made homeless. The property loss was estimated conservatively at $5,000,000 and this did not include 2,000,000 valuable trees and a large number of animals. Despite the massive scale of the blaze, it has been overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire, which began on the same day about 250 miles away.

''Life is grand'' I thought as I walked in Kensington gardens .It was a straight road

and I fond the way quite easily. When I got my first sight of the gardens the beauty of it nearby took my breath away. The trees were just bursting into leaf, fresh and green and lovely, and were beds of spring flowers, red and yellow and blue, in the beautiful, smooth grass under the trees.

People in light spring clothes were walking about, and to my surprise, they walked not only along to the paths but also across the grass, and no one said a work to them about it. I had never seen such a thing before.
