Summary "Lest We Forget": Chicago's Awful Theater Horror by Marshall Everett is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a detailed and harrowing narrative of the Iroquois Theater fire that occurred in 1903, recounting the tragic events that led to the loss of hundreds of lives. This work is likely filled with firsthand accounts from survivors, rescuers, and officials, illustrating both the chaos of the disaster and the response that followed." "The opening of the book sets the stage for the tragedy, describing the grandeur of the Iroquois Theater and the jubilant atmosphere of a holiday matinee before the disastrous fire erupted. A small ignition from a spotlight ignites curtains, quickly escalating into a catastrophic blaze that engulfs the packed auditorium. The ensuing panic leads to a horrific stampede for the exits, with many trapped and unable to escape. As the narrative unfolds, the horrifying scenes of desperation, the selfless acts of rescuers, and the community's response are vividly illustrated, laying the groundwork for an in-depth exploration of this devastating event."
