Introduction / Henry T. Lewis and M. Kat Anderson -- An anthropological critique / M. Kat Anderson -- The effects of burning of grasslands and forests by aborigines the world over / Omer C. Stewart : Introduction ; The eastern woodlands ; Prairies and plains ; The mountain west.
"A common stereotype about American Indians is that for centuries they lived in static harmony with nature in a pristine wilderness that remained unchanged until European colonization. Omer C. Stewart was one of the first anthropologists to recognize that Native Americans made significant impact across a wide range of environments. Most important, they regularly used fire to manage plant communities and associated animal species through varied and localized habitat burning. In Forgotten Fires, editors Henry T. Lewis and M. Kat Anderson present Stewart's original research and insights, presented in the 1950s yet still provocative today."--Jacket.
