Darlene Halloween and the Great Chicago Fire - September '07
Did Mrs. O'Leary's cow get a bum rap for starting the Great Chicago Fire?  Peter J. Welling examines new evidence to reveal a different culprit and suggests the possible beginning of America's Halloween tradition.  The sixth in a series of tales focused on myth, legend and American holidays has a little of everything: cute little mice, a wicked witch, Chicago legends, a mega-disaster, a lot of treats and even a little trick or two.
