The setting of small fires was a common way to clear forest land for
farming and railroad construction. The whole summer of 1871 was
unusually dry, and all the trees and grass were unusually flammable.
The high winds that blew in with a cold front on October 8 of that year
whipped up many small fires into a single enormous one, which killed
between 1,500 and 2,500 people.
That was the same day as the great Chicago fire, and there were also
major fires on the same day on the other side of Lake Michigan, that
destroyed large parts of towns in Michigan.

Dear Bestie
I hope you have been doing well. It's raining cats and dogs here and I hate it. Also how has school been any new news.
My new school is not so good.
I am surprised I have survived this long. The teachers don't help when it comes to school work , they just tell you what work to do and do t even explain the work. The school is very dirty and only 1 toilet of 5 work. The teachers do not care about what the students do they just watch.
There have already been 5 fights in a week. Many children smoke and it smells really bad .My former school was better . I wish I could go back
I hope I can handle it .Lots of boys are really mean. They bully girls a lot , they have not come to me yet but they have looked at me and I'm really scared .
Kind regards
