The Big Burn
Author: Timothy Egan
Context:
Brad mentions not having read 'The Big Burn' when discussing the history of national forests and the Forest Service system. The speaker notes it's about the 'North side of forests and sort of creation the forest service system' and mentions 'Timmygan' (likely Timothy Egan) as the author, noting they're 'not paying me to plug his book, by the way, but it's a good read.' This comes up in the context of discussing Theodore Roosevelt's creation of the Midnight Forests and the contentious history of public land management.
