  • Forgotten Disaster: The Peshtigo Fire of 1871

    Forgotten Disaster: The Peshtigo Fire of 1871
    Jan 16 2026

    Most people believe the deadliest fire in American history was the Great Chicago Fire.
    It wasn’t.

    On the same night in 1871, a firestorm tore through northeastern Wisconsin, killing over 1,200 people and destroying entire towns in minutes. Despite being the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history, the Peshtigo Fire is rarely discussed or taught.

    In this episode, I break down what happened, why the fire became so catastrophic, and how one of America’s worst disasters was quietly overshadowed and forgotten.

    No dramatization.
    No hype.
    Just history that deserves to be remembered.

    Jan 16 2026

    In 1937, a quiet school day in New London, Texas turned into one of the deadliest tragedies in American history.

    A natural gas leak beneath an elementary school ignited without warning, leveling the building in seconds and killing hundreds of children and teachers. What followed changed building safety laws across the entire country — but only after unimaginable loss.

    This is the true story of the New London School Explosion, told in about five minutes.

    5 Minute History delivers real events, fast — no filler, just facts.
