About this interview

In The Big Burn, author Timothy Egan takes us back to 1910, to the scene of the largest forest fire in American history. Three million acres — an area the size of Connecticut — burned in Idaho and Montana in a single weekend. By the time the terrifying fire burned out, more than seventy people had died.

Dr. Chad Kinder is Associate Dean of the SWOSU School of Behavioral Sciences and Education and Chair of the Dept. of Parks and Recreation Management.
