1871 - Chicago in Flames

Currier and Ives lithograph

"The whole earth, or all we saw of it, was a lurid yellowish red," wrote one survivor.
"Everywhere dust, smoke, flames, heat, thunder of falling walls, crackle of fire, hissing of
water, panting of engines, shouts, braying of trumpets, roar of wind, confusion, and uproar."
