Fires destroyed the historic Gerrit Smith Mansion in Peterboro, the Munnsville Plow Company and Duffy-Mott in Bouckville, drastically affecting the future of the county. Madison County historian Matthew Urtz examines the fires, their causes and the economic and psychological impact they had on this peaceful community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Urtz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467157783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467157780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Matthew Urtz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47453031235839,"sku":"9781467157780","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ade8d5a7-2977-441c-9f0b-8c0ec9729d3a.jpg?v=1761931539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historic-fires-of-madison-county-matthew-urtz-9781467157780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
