This episode of Fresh Air is a great addition to the previous posting about National Parks. It describes a wildfire from 1910 which burned an area the size of Connecticut over the course of a weekend, and discusses how that fire saved our National Lands, yet permanently transformed the way we treat them.
It also has some great tales about Teddy Roosevelt wrestling and skinny dipping (not at the same time).
This episode is no longer available on itunes, but you can listen now.
