I'm working on a paper about fire in nature (forest fires, burning fields, oil field fires) and its representation in literature and art. Anything from the burning of the Greek temples by the Persians to "Young Men and Fire" by Norman Maclean and the recent Yellowstone and LA fires. I seem to remember there was an exhibit a few years ago at a Western US museum about the Yellowstone fires but I can't seem to find anything on it. Have any of the natural history, historical or science museums out there done exhibits on the subject? And one more, very odd, question. Has anyone out there ever hear of Mother Mary Rose? She has supposedly performed miracles concerning fires -- in fact she save, or rather her picture nailed to the trees saved, the Catholic college I attended in the 'seventies from a forest fire. And yes, Mother Mary Rose was dead at the time. Any info, pointers or crackpot theories would be very much appreciated. Please post them to me personally. Yours, Robbin Murphy [log in to unmask]
