Book excerpt: Includes illustrations, sketches and maps of the city before and after the fire, this volume contains a complete history of the Great Boston Fire of 1872. Boston's largest urban fire and one of the most costly fires in American history, the Great Boston Fire of 1872 destroyed over 770 buildings and killed at least 30 people. While historians attribute many causes to the start of the fire, the main culprit falls on the city's building regulations not being enforced. This caused buildings to be built shoddily, very close to others, and with very flammable French Mansard roofs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Great Fire in Boston: November 9 and 10, 1872 Scholars often regret, that, in their careful research, so few descriptive accounts can be found of the great conflagrations which destroyed the ancient cities of Europe and Asia; and writers frequently suffer much inconvenience because the extensive fires of modern times have not been more fully and concisely described by the pen of the historian. It is to supply such future demands, as well as to place before the present generation a readable and trustworthy account of the great fire in Boston, that the author undertakes this delicate and arduous work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two days in November, 1872, a massive fire swept through Boston, leaving the downtown in ruins and the population traumatized. Coming barely a year after the infamous Chicago fire, Boston’s inferno turned out to be one of the most expensive fires per acre in US history. Yet today few are aware of how close Boston came to destruction. Boston author Stephanie Schorow masterfully recounts the fire’s history from the foolish decisions that precipitated it to the heroics of firefighters who fought it. Lavishly illustrated with period artwork and photographs and published just before the fire’s 150th anniversary, The Great Boston Fire captures the drama of a life-and-death battle in the heart of the city.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Great Fire: Boston, November 9-10, 1872 This story of the great fire is but a pen sketch. No one can be more sensible than myself of the feebleness of the attempt to set forth in words the scene of the night. The text is but a thread of narrative, written that the public may have the benefit of Mr. Billings's pencil. His pictures are accurate representations, and being such, are therefore historic. They are far more effectual than any words of mine can be to portray the indescribable grandeur of the conflagration.

Download or read book The Great Boston Fire of 1872 written by Anthony Mitchell Sammarco and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few events can be said to have changed the face of Boston forever. Eventually destroying 775 buildings and causing millions of dollars in damage to the commercial section that we now know as Boston's business district, the Great Boston Fire of 1872 was a spectacular conflagration that destroyed "old Boston" and allowed a phoenix to arise from the ashes. This exciting new pictorial history brings to life the drama that began one Saturday evening in 1872 when a fire started in an empty hoop-skirt factory on the corner of Summer and Kingston Streets. At the time, Boston was in the throes of a epizootic disease that caused all horses in the area to be ill. This caused a virtual shutdown of transportation and city services and delayed the fire department's response to calls for help. By the time the breathless firemen arrived, the fire had already consumed the granite five-story factory and burst through the mansard roof, which acted as a flue and spread the fire. Within an hour, much of Summer Street was engulfed in flames and firemen from near and far were being summoned to combat the spread of the deadly blaze. By midnight, the fire had spread through Summer Street to Arch Street and was attacking Winthrop Square. Old Trinity Church, at the corner of Summer and Hawley Streets, had given itself up to the flames.
