Description
On December 30, 1903, a devastating fire broke out at Chicago's Iroquois Theater during a sold-out performance. Despite being advertised as "absolutely fireproof", the theater was not safe, and in under 20 minutes, over 600 people were killed or injured.
This chilling account delves into the true story of the disaster, exploring the lives lost, changed, and destroyed on that fateful afternoon. The author uncovers the corruption behind the theater's opening just five weeks before the fire, as well as the hauntings that still linger in the theater and its surrounding areas.
One Afternoon at the Iroquois is a haunting tale of tragedy and loss, perfect for a cold winter's night during the holiday season. With first-hand accounts from those who survived and those who did not, this book offers a unique insight into one of America's deadliest theater fires.
