Podcasts about Peshtigo fire

Wisconsin was home to many towns throughout its history that, for various reasons, simply don't exist anymore. Whether bypassed by the railroad, faded away after a loss of industry, or disbanded by its own residents, the towns have been wiped from the modern-day landscape, some with visible ruins as reminders, and others have literally nothing existing other than stories. Those stories are largely unknown to most people today, but they are no less fascinating because of it. The unique history of Wisconsin is only further enriched when these stories are brought to light, including connections to America's Founding Fathers, European royalty, and even an eventual Presidential assassin. Scott and Mickey look at the history of some of our state's more interesting ghost towns, and what, other than legacy, still remains today.   In the opening banter, we discuss a new documentary about the Peshtigo Fire, and a certain town that a local media outlet called the "Most Haunted in Wisconsin."  All here, on episode 53 of Badger Bizarre: "Ghost Towns of Wisconsin."    Facebook Twitter Website Email us:  badgerbizarre@outlook.com   Opening Trailer: Ed Gein Sound Byte : "Hard Copy" - Paramount Domestic/CBS Televsion Frank Lloyd Wright and Jeffery Dahmer Sound Byte - WISN 12 News - Milwaukee, WI Jeffery Dahmer Quotes: "Inside Edition"  - King World/CBS Television/CBS Media     Attribution for Music: Trailer: Composer: Adam Phillip Zwirchmayr https://www.pond5.com/ Intro: https://pixabay.com/ Outro: Composer: Viacheslav Sarancha  https://www.pond5.com/     Attribution for logo design: Red Claw Scratch Photo   Sources:   Bale, Florence Gratiot: "When the Gratiots Came to Galena" Bulman, LeeAnne "Back Roads of Wisconsin's Past" New North (Rhinelander) - Archives Parker, Marjorie: "Miners, Mothers, or Medicaine Workers?"

In this episode we hear an event that we all know happened, but do you know what really happened?

The deadliest fire in American history happened not in Chicago, but in a small Wisconsin town to the north of Chicago on the exact same day - October 8th, 1871.

The most devastating wildfire in U.S. history was not in the western states, or even a recent event. Instead it was in Wisconsin, on October 8th, 1871. The fire burned around 1.5 million acres, and claimed more than 1,500 lives.In the 1990s, a new genre of music emerged, know as Norwegian black metal. Some of the most influential members of extreme metal came from this period. Its members from were also responsible for two murders, a suicide, and the burning of old Norwegian churches.The Norwegian black metal segment may be disturbing for sensitive listeners, and includes references to suicide and murder.The Peshtigo Fire - National Weather ServiceThe Peshtigo Fire - WikipediaThe Great Midwest Wildfires of 1871The Wisconsin magazine of history: Volume 11, number 1, September 1927Why America's Deadliest Wildfire Was Largely ForgottenNorwegian Black Metal

The Peshtigo fire was a large forest fire ever to destroy a town that began on October 8th, 1871, in northeastern Wisconsin United States including much of the southern half of the Door Peninsula and adjacent parts of the largest community in upper peninsula of Michigan affected area was Peshtigo Wisconsin which had a population of approximately 1,700 residents. The fire burned about 1.2 million acres and is the deadliest forest fire in recorded history at that time.

Charles Felch shares the history of his Sesquicentennial farm located in Marinette County. The farm was established by Charles' great grandfather, Christian Felsch (Felch), before any other settlements or roads had appeared in the area. Christian built a house on the property, but it burned down during the Peshtigo Fire, so he had to rebuild with his family. Charles used to raise bison on the property, and his son now lives there with his family. The attached photo is of Christian Felsch in his Civil War uniform. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the 2nd of a 3 part series, Scott and Mickey discuss one of the most infamous dates in American history, October 8th, 1871. Of course, that is the date of the Great Chicago Fire, maybe the most famous fire in our nations history. Though on that very same day, and burning at the very same hour, was another fire 250 miles north, in the forests of Peshtigo, WI.  And although after the flames were out, the city of Chicago received all of the nation's attention, its sympathy, its aid, the people in and around the town of Peshtigo, WI received none of that, even though the fire in Peshtigo dwarfed the Great Chicago Fire,  in the number of lives lost, by upwards of 8 times.  It is still today the deadliest fire in the history of North America and one of the worst wildfires the world has ever seen. But yet, unless you live in WI, and really even if you do, chances are you've never heard of Peshtigo, or the fire that ravaged the town and 1.2 million surrounding acres. Chances are you haven't heard the survivor accounts of people seeing their family members incinerated by an actual fire tornado, accounts of buildings being swept off the ground by 100 mile an hour winds and exploding in mid-air, or the accounts of seeing the annihilation of the town as the sun rose up the next day, and noting not one building, not one, still stood.  It's a fire that's often deemed as “Forgotten” by the annals of history; lost in the shadows of the Great Chicago Fire, about which many folk tales have been told and songs written in the decades since, while Peshtigo lay dying...  But Peshtigo didn't die. It rebuilt, literally on the ashes of itself and today is alive and well. Located just off the shores of Lake Michigan and 40 minutes north of the city of Green Bay, Peshtigo embraces its tragic history.  Tune in to hear more about "The Forgotten Fire."

The sky to the west of the small town of Peshtigo (PESH-ti-go [not pesh-TEE-go]), Wisconsin glowed red before the sunrise, on the morning of October 8th, 1871. It was Sunday, and when the local priest stepped out of his church to greet parishioners, the air was smoky and white ash fell like snow.The priest, whose name was Peter Pernin, turned and went back into the church and ran to the front of the sanctuary. He grabbed the holy tabernacle, the small cabinet that holds the Catholic eucharist.-Visit us online at: Itshometownhistory.com-Find us on all podcasting platforms: Hometown https://link.chtbl.com/hometownhistory-Support our podcast by becoming a patron at: Patreon.com/itshometownhistory-Check out our other podcasts: itsarclightmedia.comEpisode Sponsors:- Catalinacrunch.com/HOMETOWN for 15% off your first order—plus FREE shipping.- StoryWorth.com/hometown and save $10 on your first purchase!

In northeastern Wisconsin, fires set by hunters, Indians, lumberjacks, railroad workers, and farmers burning stumps and rubble culminated in the nation's worst forest fire, in terms of lives lost. No writer has yet to equal in vividness, imagery, or sheer drama the contemporary account of the fire written by Father Pernin, the parish priest for Peshtigo and nearby Marinette, whose churches both burned to the ground. Published in Montreal in 1874, ostensibly to raise funds for a new church in Marinette, Father Pernin's account may have also been an attempt to exorcise the memories of that October night during which he suffered fearfully while behaving heroically.

On October 8, 1871, two fires were set ablaze. Though one is likely written in your history books and one has been left to the ashes. While the Great Chicago Fire was burning through the Windy City, there was a much more disastrous event happening here at home: The Peshtigo Fire. 150 years ago, The Great Fire of 1871 destroyed Peshtigo, burning down all but one building and killing 800 people in the city alone, according to The Peshtigo Fire Museum. Charlie and Gabriella walk us through what caused this natural disaster — including weather patterns and standard industry practices of the time — as well as why it could never happen again. We also hear from Barb Englebert Chisolm, who does historical reenactments of how her ancestors survived the fire.

150-years ago today, "The Great Chicago Fire", that killed approximately 300, dominated headlines. Few know that on the same day as the Chicago fire, the largest fire in U.S. History, took place in Peshtigo Wisconsin. "The Forgotten Fire" claimed the lives of between 1,500 and 2,500 and scorched over 1.2 million acres.   If this peaks your interest, listen-in as Alex draws parallels between COVID and the plight of the "Forgotten".

In this episode, we look at the events surrounding the Great Peshtigo Fire - the deadliest wildfire in American history. If you've never heard of it, that's probably because it took place the same day as the Great Chicago Fire, on October 8, 1871. Unlike the blaze in Chicago, however, conditions surrounding the Peshtigo fire turned it into a phenomenon known as a firestorm – a debris-laden flaming tornado that swept over the town of Peshtigo and surrounding communities at horrific speeds and temperatures, ultimately killing at least 1500 people (and possibly as many as 2500). We'll give you some eyewitness accounts, an overview of just how flammable Peshtigo was in 1871, an introduction to the Peshtigo Paradigm, and the rundown on why you never want to use a white pine for a Christmas tree.

On October 9, 1871, newspapers across the country reported about something that started the night before in Chicago. It was NOT a good thing. However, as we learn from additional history, it might have been silly song lyrics that made it such a famous event, taking the attention away from another bad thing that happened on the exact same day.

Today in history (October 8, 1871), the most devastating fire in American History broke out in Peshtigo Wisconsin. It wasn't a freak accident caused by a dry summer. It was an externality of the lumber industry.

During the Great Peshtigo Forest Fire of 1871, Susanna's papa sets off to help his sister-in-law and her baby back to the river and safety. But before he can make it home the smoke becomes so thick he loses all sense of direction. Luckily, Susanna has the presence of mind to climb the bell tower of the old schoolhouse and ring the school bell giving her papa a beacon of sound to follow.

The greatest fire in American history, in terms of loss of life, occurred in the town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin in 1871.  Most people haven’t heard of it, and even people who live in the region today aren’t aware of the disaster which happened in their own backyard.  150 years later, there is speculation that the cause of the fire might have come from a highly unusual source, and some data from other fires might help solve the mystery. --------------------------- https://www.fluentin3months.com/ Executive Producer James Makkyla Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhere Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretrip Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/EEDailyPodcast/ Website: https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/

First- my apologies to Wisconsinites for my pronunciation of Peshtigo, which should see an accent on "Pesh"., not "Ti" as I have done. I relied totally upon visual research and not audio.  The story:  On October 8, 1871, an area of Northeastern Wisconsin half again the size of New Hampshire was utterly destroyed by a cyclonic wildfire which was being driven by winds in excess of 100 miles per hour. Somewhere between 1500 and 3,000 people were killed, and the damage to farms, homes, and livestock was beyond measure. Twelve communities were literally wiped out. The little town of Peshtigo suffered the most fatalities. On that same day, far away from Peshitgo, a cow kicked over a lantern in Mrs. O'Leary's barn in Chicago, starting a conflagration that destroyed most of that city. It was Chicago that received all the headlines- yet the Peshtigo fire still stands and America;s deadliest fire ever. This includes the eyewitness account of the Catholic pastor Father Perrin- whose account served as the basis for the handful of articles and books that followed. We offer this episode parts 1 and 2 in the memory of those who suffered loss in the Peshtigo Fire. Save at Ancestry now and discover your roots! Use www.ancestry.com/1001 and support our sponsors!

On October 8th, 1871, the same day as the Great Chicago Fire, the nation's most deadly wildfire raged through eastern Wisconsin.  The Peshtigo Fire killed an estimated 2,000 Americans.  It left a permanent mark on the Midwest.  (IMPORTANT CORRECTION:  Per listener Neil Miller, Door county is in Wisconsin, not Michigan. Thank you, Neil!) 

In Ghostly's fourteenth episode, Pat and Rebecca explore the Peshtigo Fire on October 8th, 1871 in Peshtigo, WI. The post 014 Peshtigo Fire appeared first on Ghostly Podcast.

In 1871, while the Great Chicago Fire was riveting the nation's attention, a blaze six times as deadly was ravaging a desperate town in northeastern Wisconsin. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Peshtigo fire, the deadliest wildfire in American history. We'll also watch an automated western and puzzle over some discounted food. Intro: Harry Mathews composed a poem in which every syllable is doubled. In 1766, French draughtsman Charles-Louis Clérisseau painted a Roman room to resemble a ruin. Sources for our feature on the Peshtigo fire: Denise Gess and William Lutz, Firestorm at Peshtigo, 2002.

How can the dead speak when we’ve deemed them too unimportant to listen? On this episode, we’ll explore what Lena Johamesson calls the “significant insignificances” of history through the lens of two Wisconsin fires: The Great Peshtigo Fire, and the fire and murders at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin. This week’s questions are: How and why do historical events and figures become significant? Is there a way to reframe the way we think about or approach history to elevate what Johamesson calls “the significant insignificances”? What tiny but crucial details do you care about in your historical subject of interest? Please be sure to get in touch with your answers! Find me on Twitter and Instagram @ladycryptoid and by email at ladycryptoid@gmail.com.

Iran is at war with mutant rats, a couple decides it’s time to pay back Jesus, and then we take a look at a string of massive fires in America in 1871. Were these fires caused by carelessness, bad luck, or something not of this world?   Tehran is currently facing an invasion of cat sized, 11 pound mutant rats and only a team of snipers can save them from total rat-nnihilation! A couple takes their three young kids to church but it’s not time to pray . . .it’s time to pay!   Multiple massive fires plagued America one cold winter day in 1871. As the Midwest burned, all people could do was hope for a miracle. But after the destruction was over, the search for answers began. Is it possible that these flames were stoked by a long-dead comet?   Help Promote Dead Rabbit!   Dual Flyer https://i.imgur.com/OhuoI2v.jpg   "As Above" Flyer  https://i.imgur.com/yobMtUp.jpg   Tehran rats outgrowing cats, surviving poison, but not snipers https://www.pri.org/stories/2013-03-05/tehran-rats-outgrowing-cats-surviving-poison-not-snipers Iran battles plague of giant mutant rats with team of snipers https://metro.co.uk/2013/03/13/iran-battles-plague-of-giant-mutant-rats-with-team-of-snipers-3540024/?ito=cbshare Tehran Rats: Iran Reportedly Battles Giant ‘Mutant’ Rodents With Snipers https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/04/tehran-rats-iran-giant-mutant-rodents-photo_n_2807145.html Rat King https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king Farmington duo charged in child sacrifice attempt http://www.seacoastonline.com/article/20041113/news/311139979 Cops: Couple Sought to 'Sacrifice' Kids on Altar https://www.foxnews.com/story/cops-couple-sought-to-sacrifice-kids-on-altar   Peshtigo Fire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshtigo_Fire Great Michigan Fire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Michigan_Fire Peshtigo Fire https://www.weather.gov/grb/peshtigofire Could A Meteorite or Comet Cause All The Fires of 1871? http://meteorite-identification.com/mwnews/08232004.htm Biela's Comet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biela%27s_Comet Listen to the daily podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts!   ------------------------------------------------   Logo Art By Ash Black   "As Above" Art By Grant Scott   Opening Song: "Atlantis Attacks" Closing Song: "Bella Royale" Music By Dr. Huxxxtable   http://www.DeadRabbit.com Email: DeadRabbitRadio@gmail.com Twitter: @JasonOCarpenter Facebook: www.Facebook.com/DeadRabbitRadio   Paranormal, Conspiracy, and True Crime news as it happens!

THAT'S RIGHT IT'S A LIVE EPISODE!  Emily and Taylor performed at the Women in Podcasting Festival on Oct. 6th. It was an amazing experience, and we hope you enjoy listening to it! We hope you will forgive the external noises, it was a small space with a very enthusiastic crowd. Also, forgive Taylor for having the wrong number of years as to how long ago the Peshtigo Fire was...you'll see.   

This episode is dropping on October 8th because this day in history marks the 145th anniversary of a day when terrible fires wiped out cities and took the the lives of thousands of people in 1871. One fire, the Great Chicago Fire, is well known, but there were other big fires, including one that not many people know about that actually claimed more lives and that was the Peshtigo Fire. The summer had been abnormally dry and it did not take much for the fires to spark and spread. The stories about these disasters are tragic, leaving behind emotions and turmoil that seem to fuel paranormal activity. And then there is the odd twist that these deadly fires occured on the same day. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the 1871 Infernos! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Michael Rogers and features the baby eating giant statue in Bern and This Moment in History features the Second Opium War. Our show topic was suggested by listener Ellen Martin.
