Good accounts, bad editing.
I know a lot about the Peshtigo Fire and have been fascinated by it since I was a kid. The accounts in this book are wonderful. But the proofreading or editing errors were very distracting. The author refers to logs being floated down the Ohio River, a river nowhere near Wisconsin, and to a train from Wisconsin going north to Chicago. At least get easily researched details, like geography, right!
