520    "On 7 October 1825, a massive forest fire swept through 
       northeastern New Brunswick, devastating entire 
       communities. When the smoke cleared, it was estimated that
       the fire had burned across six thousand square miles, one-
       fifth of the colony. The Miramichi Fire was the largest 
       wildfire ever to occur within the British Empire, one of 
       the largest in North American history, and the largest 
       along the eastern seaboard. Yet despite the international 
       attention and relief efforts it generated, and the ruin it
       left behind, the fire all but disappeared from public 
       memory by the twentieth century. A masterwork in 
       historical imagination, The Miramichi Fire vividly 
       reconstructs nineteenth-century Canada's greatest natural 
       disaster, meditating on how it was lost to history. First 
       and foremost an environmental history, the book examines 
       the fire in the context of the changing relationships 
       between humans and nature in colonial British North 
       America and New England, while also exploring social 
       memory and the question of how history becomes established,
       warped, and forgotten. Alan MacEachern explains how the 
       imprecise and conflicting early reports of the fire's 
       range, along with the quick rebound of the forests and 
       economy of New Brunswick, led commentators to believe by 
       the early 1900s that the fire's destruction had been 
       greatly exaggerated. As an exercise in digital history, 
       this book takes advantage of the proliferation of online 
       tools and sources in the twenty-first century to posit an 
       entirely new reading of the past. Resurrecting one of 
       Canada's most famous and yet unexamined natural disasters,
       The Miramichi Fire traverses a wide range of historical 
       and scientific literatures to bring a more complete story 
       into the light."--|cProvided by publisher.
