A good case could be made for predicting a calamitous forest fire that would ravage the relatively unscathed, lush timber stands of the Northwest. Some people shrugged and lamented that one could never predict much of the future. But regardless of what people thought, 1910 was to be the year of what some termed the "big blowup" of the "big burn," or the "time when the mountains roared."
A series of 1,736 fires ravaged three million acres and killed eighty-five people. With abnormally low amounts of precipitation and soaring high temperatures, disaster threatened imminently, and the undermanned, underequipped national forest service did not help the situation.

- I haven't started reading this as yet. But am looking forward in doing so as I got to go on a bicycle ride on the railroad bed a ways summer before last with 5 kids including my daughter and grandson. Beautiful scenery now.
- Good historical account of great fire of 1910, but should have been proofed better to catch grammatical errors.
- My husband enjoyed this very informative book, we had never heard of his diaster. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed.
