The Great Fires: Tables
Zybach, Bob 2018. The Great Fires: Indian Burning and Catastrophic Forest Fire Patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951 (2nd Edition). NW Maps Co., Cottage Grove, Oregon: 364 pp.
The Great Fires is the definitive documentation and considertation of landscape-scale Oregon Coast Range fire history for the past 500 years. This book is a reprinting of Dr. Zybach's 2003 Oregon State University PhD dissertation and includes all text, 60 maps, 38 figures, and 26 tables contained in the original. Some minor typos have been corrected, but numbered pages have been reduced from 451 to 364 by removing academic signature sheets and reformatting text with changed fonts and spacing. The principal result has been a change in pagination, so academic references will vary between the two versions.
