Timothy Egan

In The Big Burn, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Timothy Egan tells the story of the largest forest fire in American history, a storm that destroyed seven towns, killed 86 people and raged across three million acres in Montana and Idaho in 1910. Egan tells an epic story of an environmental disaster, paints a moving portrait of the people who fought and survived it, and offers a critical cautionary tale for today.
