From the book cover: Solving Michigan's Largest Mass Murder On Christmas Eve 1913, more than six dozen people were crushed to death as they scrambled to flee the second floor of the Italian Hall in Calumet, Michigan. Someone had cried "Fire" at the top of the stairs. There was no fire, but the tragedy permanently scarred the psyche of the region. Wås the call of "Fire" a tragic error or a calculated action designed to cause chaos? Inaccurate history is like a computer virus: it spreads exponentially. In Death 's Door The Truth Behind Michigan 's Largest Mass Murder, author and attorney Steve Lehto wades through conflicting news reports, transcripts and other documentation to finally set the record straight. Praise for Death's Door "The souls of the innocent have finally been set free. " Jay Brandow, reporter, WNEM IV-5 Saginaw "Lehto has a keen eye for nuance and detail that must be considered when interpreting documents and making historical judgments, " Dr. Daniel Clark, associate professor of history Oakland University "Lehto puts events back together with the eye of a crime-scene investigator and first-class historian. " Peter Werbe, host of "Nightcall," WRIF-FM 101.1 Detroit
