I've been interested in the Hinckley fire since I read an account as a teenager. After loving Boys in the Boat I noticed that Daniel Brown had also written about Hinckely and put that book on my "to read" list. I loved it!I've visited the area and driven through the towns in the book. I've gone to the museum and walked around Hinckley today using his vivid descriptions as anchors.If you like history; Minnesota history in particular; or if you are interested in wildfires or disasters in general you'll like this book. Since reading it I've gone on to read some of the books the author recommends about other wildfires in Wisconsin and Minnesota.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Terribly sad; but powerfully told.By Heidi GrangeI have this strange fascination for disaster survival stories. I think what draws me to them the most is discovering the way people respond when such awful things occur. This book I've read before interestingly enough; but it felt like a first read. Brown has done a phenomenal job of putting the reader in the story. Not only does he tell the story of a horrible wildfire that wreaked havoc; but he also delves into some of the things society has learned about fire over the last hundred years. He talks about several different kinds of fires and what made this one so dangerous. He compares the Hinckley fire to several other deadly fires that have occurred over the years; which made it easier to understand just how big this fire got. Admittedly; it was hard to read about the people dying; fire is a horrible way to die after all. But the part that made me the sickest and yet impressed me the most were the descriptions of what the rescuers and clean-up crews found when they came to help. I was really impressed by how many people jumped in to provide help and how fast they did it. How the rescuers managed to face the horribly burned bodies of men; women; and children; I really don't know; but I admire them for doing so. Like most such survival stories; there were those who behaved heroically and those who focused solely on their own survival. There were even looters and tourists who came to gawk. But I think; underneath it all; this is a story about families; some who survived; and many who died; together.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. love all of his booksBy Ellen ShieldsDaniel Brown is a compelling author.....love all of his books. Story based on true facts and he brings you there....misery abounds but so do tales of survival. My favorite book of his is the Boys in the Boat.....because the outcome is far more pleasant....however for a factual read that puts you in the story Under A Flaming Sky is well done.
