Blazing from the West Side, the Great Chicago Fire left nothing but
ashy remnants of the developing city leveling its landscape but
certainly not its spirit. While the West Side was home to the
infamous O'Leary Barn, it was also where the news of some of the
city's most gruesome and horrific crime reverberated throughout the
state and across the country. Read about the bloody end of Robert
'the Terrible' Toughy, who undoubtedly lived up to his name, met an
ill-deserved fate. Troy Taylor also delves into the life of John
Wayne Gacy the depraved man masked by the clown costume and yet
again proves to be a master storyteller and historian of Chicago's
criminal underworld.
