The story is about a cow who was being milked by women. Of course, the woman was not going to admit to being at fault. The women had a different tale of what happen\u00a0on that eventful night, she claimed she was in bed with her husband and she could not have started the fire and there was a witness who came to their side to further back the statement. “Now this story started to spread just like the fire did in Chicago,”<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0so from this point people were not talking about how the cow was the culprit and the people were innocent. The were also many things that could back up her story with fires that have been going on earlier in the week, the firemen being exhausted\u00a0from their word, and finally the amount of time the fire took to take over the city. I see a connection from what\u00a0gparker77<\/a>\u00a0posted on histography. As I was reading this story I had my questions of how and why this fire was significant in Chicago’s history. How is it a cow or the women the center of all of this? \u00a0As I finished reading the rest of the article, I started realizing they had accounts from the newspapers and pictures to back up that this was an actual event. Furthermore, they had a full trial on who started the fire and finally at the end we find out it was not the cow or the women but a man named Daniel “Peg Leg” Sullivan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
