Show Notes
Imagine this: it's a freezing winter's night in New York City. Inside a building, a single gas pipe bursts. Hours later, the city is engulfed in flames. This is exactly what happened over 180 years ago. In 1835, a fire destroyed nearly 700 buildings and burnt down New York's growing financial district. And yet, this fire is often forgotten in history.
Join Anna and Leo as they rediscover the story of New York's great fire and its lasting impact. Prepare yourself, young historians–this adventure is going to get very smoky.
