Bücher von Timothy Egan

In this exciting and illuminating work, National Book Award winner Timothy Egan delivers a story, both rollicking and haunting, of one of the most famous Irish Americans of all time.

On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno. Forest rangers assembled nearly ten thousand men to fight the fire. The author narrates the struggles of the rangers.
