The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire That Saved America
Timothy Egan
On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno. Forest rangers assembled nearly ten thousand men to fight the fire. The author narrates the struggles of the rangers.
