DESCRIPTION:While many people have heard of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871
 \, few people are aware that a second fire was taking place at the same ti
 me just a few hundred miles away in upstate Wisconsin\, and that this fire
  would be responsible for more deaths by fire than any other in U.S. histo
 ry. How many would die in a fire that was to scorch an area more than twic
 e the size of the state of Rhode Island and lay waste to twelve communitie
 s will probably never be known exactly\, largely due to the remoteness of 
 the area and the largely rural population\, but some estimates put the num
 ber as high as 2\,500. Hardest hit was the little town of Peshtigo\, most 
 of whose population of 1\,700 died in the flames—with many of their bodi
 es never recovered. (Many of the survivors escaped the flames by immersing
  themselves in the Peshtigo River\, wells\, or other nearby bodies of wate
 r\, though even then many drowned or succumbed to hypothermia in the frigi
 d waters.) How bad was it? Surviving witnesses reported that the firestorm
  generated a tornado that threw rail cars hundreds of feet and flung entir
 e houses into the air. Makes Mrs. O’Leary’s cow look tame by compariso
