Great Fires on the Same Day of October 1871 (Chicago, Peshtigo, Michigan, Minnesota, Ontario) Part 1

<p>And welcome back for Episode 53 of The Great Deception Podcast where I take a look at the Great Fires around Lake Michigan on the same evening in October 1871. &nbsp;Chicago, Peshtigo, Michigan, Minnesota, Ontario all experienced almost simultaneous fires consuming nearly 4 million acres of land, thousands of lives, and turned stone &amp; brick structures to dust. These conflagrations have fantastical first hand accounts, many theories as to the cause, but the result was the same...devastation. &nbsp;Check out the first part of this series as we look at the first hand accounts and the results of these disasters.</p> <p>Please review &amp; share the show!&nbsp;</p> <p>Go support my friend Ellie &amp; her work on Speed Bumps Podcast</p> <p>https://campsite.bio/onethumbel</p> <p><br></p> <p>To support the show:</p> <p><u><strong>Mat from The Great Deception Podcast</strong></u></p> <p><u><strong>Linktree: </strong></u><a href="https://linktr.ee/thegreatdeceptionpodcast"><u><strong>https://linktr.ee/thegreatdeceptionpodcast</strong></u></a></p> <p>IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegreatdeceptionpodcast/">https://www.instagram.com/thegreatdeceptionpodcast/</a></p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/user/Barons44">https://youtube.com/user/Barons44</a></p> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:thegreatdeceptionpodcast@gmail.com">thegreatdeceptionpodcast@gmail.com</a></p> <p><u><strong>To Make Contributions:</strong></u></p> <p>PayPal: <a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MatthewTerrillion?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US">https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MatthewTerrillion?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US</a></p> <p>Venmo: <a href="https://account.venmo.com/u/Matthew-Terrillion">https://account.venmo.com/u/Matthew-Terrillion</a></p> <p>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thegreatdeceptionpodcast">https://www.patreon.com/thegreatdeceptionpodcast</a></p> <p>Merch: <a href="https://dashboard.teespring.com/listings/117762780/admin">https://my-store-cb4b4e.creator-spring.com</a></p> --- Support this podcast: <a
