New York : Scholastic. 1995. 144 pages : illustrations, maps ; 28 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. The Great Fire of 1871 was one of most colossal disasters in American history. Overnight, the flourshing city of Chicago was transformed into a smoldering wasteland. The damage was so profound that few people believed the city could ever rise again.
