Fire in downtown Oskaloosa, 1900; Mahaska County, Iowa
Subject
Description
This photograph captures legitimate panic and hysteria from a fire in downtown Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1900. No records of the fire and the damage it did to people and stores in the downtown area can be found on the incident however. What evidence does exist is the fact that the citizens of Oskaloosa cared about each other, as common people during the day did not hesitate to help their neighbors during this crisis.
