This week marks the anniversary of one of the worst fires in United States history, one that started on October 8, 1871. No, it isn't the Great Chicago Fire. The Peshtigo Wisconsin Fire was far worse. Listen to how it developed, the Chicago connections, and stick around for my conversation with author Deborah Hufford, whose new historical novel "The Fire Born" is set in Peshtigo.
