Waiting on Wednesday: The Fargo Fire of 1893

Tuesday, August 25, 2020


Hi Everyone!

Stopping by to let you know about a book I am waiting on! 

Author: Danielle Teigen 
 
Summary from Goodreads:
In 1893, Fargo was simply trying to thrive amid an impending national depression. One Wednesday afternoon in June, a ferocious fire quickly devoured hundreds of businesses and more than thirty blocks in the heart of the fledgling city. Residents were stunned, but they weren't defeated. Through perseverance, grit and some helpful insurance money, owners immediately began rebuilding. The arduous reconstruction ended up protecting the city against unemployment and poverty. Author Danielle Teigen describes the efforts and individuals who helped rebuild a stronger, better city. More than a century later, that resilience and determination continues to be a hallmark of the Gateway to the West.  

Happy Reading!
