The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America, by Timothy Egan.
The Big Burn, by Timothy Egan, is a fascinating look at two intertwined stories – that of the largest wildfire in U.S. history (the Big Burn of 1910) and the founding and early struggles of the U.S. Forest Service. The book is packed with both physical action on the fire line and political action in Washington, brought to life through the perspectives of larger-than-life characters such as Ed Pulaski, Gifford Pinchot, and Teddy Roosevelt.
