Peshtigo Paradigm

Wednesday, September 29 @ 7:00 pm (CT)

Zoom Webinar

Hosted by Forest History Association of Wisconsin as part of the 150th Anniversary of the Peshtigo fire.

For 50 years the kind of fire that swept over Peshtigo plagued the Great Lakes region, in both the U.S. and Canada. The fires furnished an important background for state-sponsored conservation and especially a program of fire protection.

Presented by Steve Pyne, an emeritus professor at Arizona State University, and the author of many fire histories, including Fire in America (1982), Awful Splendor: A Fire History of Canada (2007), and Between Two Fires: A Fire History of Contemporary America (2015).
