Twenty years on, a sequel is needed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Well-written account of the Yellowstone experience, but it could have been expanded to include actions of Non-Government Organizations (Sierra Club, etal) at the time on the same blow-by-blow basis. A single short comment at the end of the book suggests they sat it out, en masse. One nit to pick: an acre is an area, a width a linear measurement--fires do not get "acres wide". The book was written a couple of years after the fire. Now, 20 years later, Mr Morrison could do a public service with a sequel that explores what actions have been taken at any level to better manage a repeat performance. I'd buy it.
