Synopsis
Did Mrs O'Leary's cow cause the fire? Or was it something different, something much bigger? Mel Waskin explores the bigger possibility -- that the Chicago Fire was caused by the earth's collision with a comet. He draws on a wide range of sources, from speculations on catastrophism to astronomical observations to eyewitness accounts of the fateful night in Chicago, and in Wisconsin and Michigan, where companion fires blazed.

    The book arrived last night, packed very carefully and as advertised. Seller was very careful in the packing by using multiple protections withing the shipping box, to keep my book as pristine as possible. I'm satisfied with this purchase and I'll be delighted to buy from this vendor again, when the time comes.
