Introduces a region that once lay at the geographic heart of American fire and today promises to reclaim something of that heritage. Stephen J. Pyne explores how this once most regularly and widely burned province of North America has been shaped by the flames contained within it and what fire, both tame and feral, might mean for the future of its landscapes.
