The Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871
Description edit
About this Site
My name is Deana Hipke. I grew up near Peshtigo, Wisconsin and attended the public schools there. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin and currently live in the capital city of Madison with my husband and daughter.
I am not a professional historian. This site was inspired by my personal interest in genealogy and local history, and grew out of a compulsion to collect published references to my hometown and its unfortunate claim to fame.
When I first started visiting genealogy sites on the Internet, I occasionally came across queries posted by individuals looking for information about "a big forest fire in Wisconsin that killed a lot of people." I was glad to use my background knowledge to answer a few questions. In time, I decided to compile some information and make it available via the Internet. This was my first exercise in Web site publishing.
