Milwaukee Fire Survivor Recalls Deadly Hotel Blaze
A St Louis Globe-Democrat account preserves a Milwaukee fire survivor's memories of the 1858 No. Newhall House blaze. He describes waking to flames, escaping through the stairways, losing eight companions, a chest injury, his hair bleaching to white by the heat, and investigations into the blaze amid a bitter night. He notes the hotel’s age, structure, and the frozen fire department hindrance, and reflects on the suffering of the poor in Milwaukee's fire.
