Author's note -- Florida -- California -- Northern Rockies -- Great Plains -- Southwest -- Interior West -- Northeast -- Slopovers -- Here and there
"To the Last Smoke offers a unique and sweeping view of the nation's fire scene by distilling observations on Florida, California, the Northern Rockies, the Great Plains, the Southwest, the Interior West, the Northeast, Alaska, the oak woodlands, and the Pacific Northwest into a single, readable volume. The anthology functions as a color-commentary companion to the play-by-play narrative offered in Pyne's Between Two Fires: A Fire History of Contemporary America. The series is Pyne's way of "keeping with it to the end," encompassing the directive from his rookie season to stay with every fire "to the last smoke.""--
