The footnotes don't seem to refer anywhere. --Lukobe 05:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, somebody removed them without explaining why. I've restored them. --Lukobe 05:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Murray Morgan

There is a very circumstantial description of the firefighting efforts in Murray Morgan's Skid Road (1951, 1960, and I believe there was a later edition). Whoever is working on the article might want to get hold of a copy; they'd find a lot to add. - Jmabel | Talk 05:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

James Warren's The Day Seattle Burned is likely the best single recent source for information on the fire and the aftermath. Information on rebuilding is found in Ochsner and Andersen's book, Distant Corner. Chesterct (talk) 23:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
