Inhaltsangabe

In October 1947, Maine experienced the worst fire disaster in its history. Climaxing months of drought, fires raged across more than 200,000 acres, feeding on woods, fields, and even the bone dry earth. Nine communities were practically leveled and four others severely damaged. Fifteen people lost their lives in the conflagrations. Joyce Butler's Wildlife Loose vividly describes how the fires started and spread so fiercely through rural villages, down Millionaire's Row in Bar Harbor, and across Southern Maine beach resorts. It is the most complete account of "The Week Maine Burned," meticulously researched and filled with riveting personal descriptions of tragedy, terror, courage, and human resilience. This newly revised edition of Wildfire Loose, which includes additional text and photographs, commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Maine's most devastating fires.
