Description

The first documentary history of wildfire management in the United States, Burn Scars probes the long efforts to suppress fire, beginning with the Spanish invasion of California in the eighteenth century through the US Forest Service’s relentless nationwide campaign in the twentieth century. In recent years, suppression has come under increasing scrutiny as a contributing factor to our current era of megafires.
