Blazing Heritage: A History of Wildland Fire in the National Parks

By Hal K. Rothman

Book Overview

National parks played a unique role in the development of wildfire management on American public lands. With a different mission and powerful meaning to the public, the national parks were a psychic battleground for the contests between fire suppression and its use as a management tool.
Blazing Heritage tells how the national parks shaped federal fire management.
