Chicago Fire
In American history, the Peshtigo Fire remains the deadliest. It was little noticed at the time due to the remoteness of the region. Across the lake to the east, the town of Holland, Michigan and other nearby areas burned to the ground.
Some 100 miles to the north of Holland the lumbering community of Manistee, Michigan also suffered a tremendous fire.
In pop culture
Gary Larson's The Far Side comic strip jokes that the fire may have been started by secret agent cows.
In 2006, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, during a week in Chicago, featured a sketch in which Mrs. O'Leary's cow finally received justice for starting the fire: It was strapped to a bomb and given a chance to disarm it by cutting the blue wire. Sadly, cows are colorblind, so Mrs. O'Leary's cow was blown to bits.
Vince Vaughn makes many references to the fire in the 2006 film The Break-Up.
On his 2005 album Illinois, Sufjan Stevens sings "Oh great fire of great disaster" in "The Tallest Man, The Broadest Shoulders" .
