Have a Good Read: The Big Burn



High points include:
1.  The essential role of Theodore Roosevelt in the conservation movement
2.  An iconic photo of TR and John Muir
3.  Complaints from Westeners about the Forest Service and National Forests that sound pretty similar to today.
4.  The role of Gifford Pinchot in assisting TR.
5.  The cruel treatment of Forest Service ranger and fire fighter Ed Pulsaski

An interesting story written well.
