Summary: THIS IS A LOCAL READ
Comment: In the fall of 1918, forest and wild fires devastated significant areas of Minnesota, killing anywhere from 400 to 1000 people. This book tells the story of these fires and the subsequent recovery of the region. While a valuable work on the topic, the book is not that interesting. We learn many details about the event, but the fire comes across more as a distant historical event than as a great tragedy. And little is said about how the residents planned to handle future fires. The book seems to have been intended for a local audience. Outsiders may find it hard to identify with the communities described.

Rating: 5
Summary: An informative and accurate account of a forrest fire
