Marshall Philyaw's drawing of the Peshtigo Fire
Marshall Philyaw's drawing of the Peshtigo Fire is based in part on the picture entitled "The Burning of Peshtigo" that originally appeared in the November 25, 1871, issue of Harper's Weekly. In his eyewitness account of the disaster published in 1874, Peter Pernin wrote of "large wooden houses torn from their foundations and caught up like straws by two opposing currents of air which raised them till they came in contact with the stream of fire." Philyaw depicts the drama and imagery of these words in his drawing of the Congregational church being destroyed by fire and wind.*
