The History Guy remembers the victims of the great 1871 Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin, America's deadliest fire. Because it took place on the same day as the Great Chicago Fire, the Peshtigo Fire has been largely forgotten. It is history that deserves to be remembered. This video contains information that may be disturbing to some viewers. It was made for educational purposes and all topics are presented in a historical context. The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
