About: Peshtigo fire

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Peshtigo fire was a large forest fire on October 8, 1871, in northeastern Wisconsin, United States, including much of the southern half of the Door Peninsula and adjacent parts of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The largest community in the 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 wildfire in recorded history, with the number of deaths estimated between 1,500 and 2,500. Although the exact number of deaths is debated, mass graves, both those already exhumed and those still being discovered, in Peshtigo and the surrounding areas show that the death toll of the blaze was most likely greater than the 1889 Johnstown flood death toll of 2,200 people or more.

  • Der Feuersturm von Peshtigo ereignete sich ab dem 8. Oktober 1871 über große Flächen im Nordosten von Wisconsin. Die größte Gemeinde von 12, die betroffen waren, war Peshtigo. Etwa 490.000 Hektar (4.900 km²) brannten ab. Einige Menschen überlebten, indem sie in den Peshtigo River flohen. Andere, die sich in Brunnen geflohen hatten, erstickten. Das Feuer bestand aus zwei Bränden auf beiden Seiten der Green Bay. Etwa 1.500 Menschen kamen um. Das bewahrt Erinnerungsstücke an die Katastrophe. Am gleichen Tag begann der Große Brand von Chicago, ferner gab es große Brände in Holland, und Port Huron. (de)

Occurring on the same day as the more famous Great Chicago Fire, the Peshtigo fire has been largely forgotten, even though it killed far more people. In total, the Great Chicago Fire took one-fifth as many lives as the Peshtigo Fire. "Everybody's heard about the Chicago fire, and that got all the publicity at the time," said a volunteer at the Peshtigo Fire Museum, named Ruth Wiltzius, whose great-grandfather perished while trying to escape. "Peshtigo was a backwards lumber town then—who had ever heard of it? Chicago was the big city. Which one was going to get more attention?" Nonetheless, several cities in Michigan, including Holland and Manistee (across Lake Michigan from Peshtigo) and Port Huron (at the southern end of Lake Huron), also had major fires on the same day. These fires, along with many other fires of the nineteenth century had the same basic causes: small fires coupled with unusually dry weather. (en)
  • L'incendie de Peshtigo est un très grand feu de forêt qui a eu lieu le 8 octobre 1871 dans le nord-est du Wisconsin, aux États-Unis, comprenant une grande partie de la moitié sud de la péninsule de Door et des parties adjacentes de la péninsule supérieure du Michigan. La plus grande communauté de la zone touchée était Peshtigo, dans le Wisconsin. Le feu a brûlé environ 1 200 000 acres (485 623 ha) et a été l'incendie de forêt le plus meurtrier de l'histoire, provoquant la mort d'environ 1 500 personnes, et peut-être même de 2 500. (fr)
  • ペシュティーゴ火災（ぺしゅてぃーごかさい、英語:Peshtigo fire）は、1871年10月8日にアメリカ合衆国中央北部のウィスコンシン州ペシュティーゴ(Peshtigo)で発生した大規模な森林火災である。合衆国史上最悪の野火(wildfire)で、約1500人、もしくは2500人もの死者が出たと推定されている。 同日に有名なシカゴ大火が発生したため、ペシュティーゴ火災はすっかり忘れられている。ペシュティーゴおよびシカゴの火災と同じ日に、ミシガン州のホランドおよびマニスティー(Manistee)（ペシュティーゴからミシガン湖を越えて）、およびヒューロン湖の南端ポートヒューロンでも大火災が発生したために、同時代人および歴史家が共通の原因に関する様々な説を挙げている。 (ja)
  • Pożar Peshtigo – pożar, który 8 października 1871 strawił miasteczko Peshtigo w stanie Wisconsin. Katastrofa spowodowała śmierć największej liczby istnień ludzkich z powodu ognia w dziejach Stanów Zjednoczonych. W związku z tym, że wybuchł on tego samego dnia co "wielki pożar Chicago", pożar Peshtigo pozostaje wydarzeniem prawie nieznanym. Również tego samego dnia miejscowości Holland i Manistee po drugiej stronie jeziora Michigan padły ofiarą ognia, podobnie jak Port Huron na południowym krańcu jeziora Huron. (pl)
