From his home on the Texas Panhandle, John R. Erickson, rancher and
author of the bestselling Hank the Cowdog series, saw firsthand the
raw power of two megafires that swept across the high plains in
2006 and 2017. "These were landmark events that are etched onto the
memory of an entire generation and will be passed down to the next.
They made the old-time methods of fighting fire with shovels, wet
gunny sacks, and ranch spray rigs a pathetic joke." Yet Bad Smoke,
Good Smoke, while relating a tale of gut-wrenching destruction,
also provides a more nuanced view of what is often a natural event,
giving the two-sided story of our relationship with fire. Not just
a first-hand account, Bad Smoke, Good Smoke also synthesizes and
explains the latest research in range management, climate, and
fire. Having experienced the bad smoke, Erickson tries to
understand a rancher's relationship to good smoke and to reconcile
the symbiotic relationship that a rancher has with fire.
Evocatively chronicled, Erickson tells what it is like trying to
stop the unstoppable: Bad Smoke, Good Smoke gives voice to the
particular pains that ranchers must face in our era of climate
change and ever more powerful natural disasters.
