Haven't been too regular on the forum these days so I missed this. Discovered it just a few days ago on the Martin forum [go to UMGF.com>Nazerath 2013>Anybody video "Cold Missouri Waters" ?? and watch the excellent performances of this there. I immediately picked up a guitar and started learning it, a fantastic and moving song by James Keelaghan.
When I was in grad school in the mid-late 60s, fire ecology was really coming into its own and its use as a management tool, and I have maintained an interest since then. For those with an interest read Norm McLean's "Young Men and Fire" an account of the Mann Gulch Fire which inspired this song. In a reprise McLean's son John wrote a book "Fire on the Mountain" about the South Canyon Fire in CO in 1994 which killed 14 firefighters under similar circumstances. The Wiki account of the Mann Gulch Fire is excellent, the account of the South Canyon Fire unfortunately is really a stub.
About 12 years ago one of the crosses at Mann Gulch was removed and replaced by a Mogen David as one of the dead firefighters was Jewish.
