| Description | Cartoon shows a cow gazing at a small town on the edge of a lake, then kicking over a lighted lantern and imagining the 20th-century skyscrapers of Chicago. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed most of the downtown area and killed more than 300 people. Tradition holds that it began when Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over a lantern. |
