Daniel James Brown is the author who wrote THE BOYS in the BOAT which our ret'd teachers' book club loved so we thought we would try another one of his books. This one is about the firestorm in Hinckley, Minnesota , 1894, which trapped more than 2,000 people and more than 400 people died horrible deaths; some parts were a tad too graphic for me to read. The survivors are telling their stories.

Finished! An interesting but difficult book to read.... town of Hinckley completely destroyed by the fire, dead bodies everywhere, families separated with no knowledge of who survived and where they were, information at to what the body does when it experiences severe burning, PTSD, burn treatment wasn't even recognized for years later, etc. etc. This disaster certainly gets your attention !
