Peshtigo Fire

On October 8, 1871, the most devastating forest fire in American history swept through northeast Wisconsin. The blaze began at an unknown location in the dense Wisconsin forest. It first spread to the small village of Sugar Bush, where every resident was killed. Strong winds then sent the 200-foot flames racing northeast toward the neighboring community of Peshtigo. Temperatures reached 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, causing trees to literally explode in the flames. The wildfire even jumped across the Peshtigo River, trapping both sides of the town in flames.

After raging for about two hours, the fire burned more than 280,000 acres in Oconto, Marinette, Shawano, Brown, Kewaunee, Door, Manitowoc and Outagamic counties. The human toll was 1,152 known dead and another 350 believed to be dead. Another 1,500 were seriously injured and at least 3,000 made homeless. The property loss was estimated conservatively at $5,000,000 and this did not include 2,000,000 valuable trees and a large number of animals. Despite the massive scale of the blaze, it has been overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire, which began on the same day about 250 miles away.

rank scholars of Vietnam. In 1076, Emperor Ly Nhan Tong continued the work and built the Imperial Academy
as the first university of Vietnam.
The temple is divided into five courtyards. The first courtyard is from the main gate to Dai Trung Gate. The
second is with Khue Van Pavilion. The pavilion symbol is used on all street signs of Ha Noi. The third
courtyard is the place where doctorate names were listed on the stone tablets above tortoise backs. The fourth
courtyard is dedicated for Confucius and his 72 honoured students, as well as Chu Van An - one of the most
famous teachers at the Imperial Academy. The last is also the farthest courtyard is Thai Hoc House, which was
