class=\"wp-element-caption\">The legend of Mrs. O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s cow starting the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 is one of the most enduring myths associated with the disaster. According to the story, the fire began when a cow owned by Catherine O&#8217;Leary kicked over a lantern in the family&#8217;s barn on DeKoven Street, igniting the blaze that would devastate a large portion of Chicago. However, this account has been largely debunked and is considered folklore. The cow was innocent. Nonetheless cow bells are a popular Chicago tourist item.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chicago Fire Academy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chicago Fire Department Fire

\/>The 19th\u2011century&nbsp;<strong>Pullman company town<\/strong>&nbsp;was a classical \u201cFreedom City\u201d before its time: the company owned housing, stores, services, and tightly controlled

unilaterally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 1894 Pullman Strike and Supreme Court backlash effectively killed the model; it was seen as&nbsp;<strong>incompatible with a democratic republic<\/strong>&nbsp;and

\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>America&#8217;s most famous road was officially named in 1926 and rolled in an unbroken (and largely unpaved) stretch for more than 2,400 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica. Unlike other, straighter highways of the time, it wound through rural communities in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Route 66 gave farmers access to new markets and spurred the growth of interstate trucking because of its flat topography and generally good weather. During the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, Route 66 became an artery of migration for Midwest farming families headed to California-and the return of most of them within months. During the Depression, Route 66 became an economic lifeline for the communities through which it passed. Thousands of mom-and-pop service stations, motels, and eateries blossomed. By 1938, the entirety of Route 66 was paved, and it supported another, more lasting wave of westward migration to defense industry jobs on the West Coast.
