Elias Colbert was a United States journalist, historian and astronomer. The two authors were associated with The Chicago Tribune at time of publication. From a contemporary review: This work is just issued from the press. It has numerous illustrations,-the latter including a first-class map of the city, which not only shows the burnt district, but also the parks and boulevards. The work comprises a well-written history of Chicago before the fire, with full statistics of growth in the commercial development of the city., and her manufacturing progress; a full description of the city as it existed before the fire; a graphic and ample account of the fire, with its attendant and succeeding incidents; a very carefully-prepared statement of losses; with an appendix, giving sketches of the great fires in history, the documentary history of the fire, contemporary opinions concerning the event, the relief work, etc. The well-known ability of the authors had led the public to expect from their hands a standard work on the subject, and the readers of the book will not be disappointed.
