A review by fictionwriter
The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire That Saved America by Timothy Egan

4.0

Teddy Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot together created the National Forestry Service which has given us many of the natural landscapes Americans enjoy today. But many of the young rangers who signed on to patrol those forests lost their lives trying to control the wildfires of 1910. An informative and interesting book filled with personalities and historical detail.
