Hartman’s has long purchased their watches from the 57th, proud to carry the gold, jewel encrusted time pieces which are as much a work of art as they are reliable necessities. Zack Kazmarek is a lawyer working for the most exclusive store in all the Midwest. It is a large responsibility and what little peace she has is only because the business landscape for her company is stable and solid. For Mollie, running a company doesn’t mean just keeping a business afloat, it means providing a livelihood for those who would not be able to get one elsewhere. Mollie’s father had given jobs to all he could, from the blind lawyer to the shell shocked silver polisher. The regiment had met its end backed against a cliff during a three day shootout that had left the majority of the men dead, crippled or maimed. The company is so named not because it is Chicago’s fifty-seventh business making watches but because it employs many of the men from her father’s Civil War unit, the 57th Illinois Infantry. Mollie Knox is the owner of a rather unusual firm called The Illinois 57th Watch Company. Into the Whirlwind takes this terrible tragedy and brings it to life through scintillating characters. What is known is that hundreds died in the flames which claimed 3.3 square miles of the city. While it is accurate that the fire started in the O’Leary’s barn, no one is quite sure how. O’Leary’s cow was falsely accused of starting the Great Chicago Fire.
