Young Men and Fire Very good - 1992

Young Men & Fire by Norman Maclean. 1992. A devastating and lyrical work of nonfiction, Young Men and Fire describes the events of August 5, 1949, when a crew of fifteen of the US Forest Service's elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy in Young Men and Fire, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award.Power With Grace, The Life Story of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, by Ishbel Ross.1975. 20 photographs included in the center of this edition.
