With each of Seattle writer Timothy Egan's books - from his debut, The Good Rain back in 1990, on through his 2005 National Book Award-winning The Worst Hard Time - it has been our pleasure and honor to celebrate publication with the books' public debut here at Elliott Bay. We do so with delight again this evening, welcoming the former Seattle Post-Intelligencer Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who would go on to The New York Times, with his newest, The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt & The Fire That Saved America (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). "Egan spins a tremendous tale of Progressive-era America out of the 1910 blaze that burned across Montana, Idaho and Washington, and put the fledgling U.S. Forest Service through a veritable trial by fire ... Egan shuttles back and forth between the national stage of politics and the conflicting visions of the nation's future, and the personal stories of the men and women who fought and died in the fire ... Egan brings a touching humanity to this story of valor and cowardice in the face of a national catastrophe, paying respectful attention to Roosevelt's great dream of conservation and of an America 'for the little man.'" - Publishers Weekly.
