The fires burned in the same environmental and climatic conditions, of course \u2013 and may well have been connected. Alan MacEachern will describe reconstructing the fire&#8217;s history, and discuss how the international border served as a cultural firebreak, dispersing the blaze and diminishing its renown in both the United States and Canada.<\/div>\n<h3>yAbout the speaker<\/h3>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql\">Alan MacEachern teaches History at the University of Western Ontario. He has written extensively on Canadian environmental history, most recently The Miramichi Fire: A History (McGill-Queen\u2019s University Press, 2020). He and Ed MacDonald will publish The Summer Trade: A History of Tourism on Prince Edward Island later this year. His favorite project is his next project.<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maine.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZAvcuivqzssGNa7XT2s3hoi1F9AfSd3dCXK\">Register on Zoom in advance to attend.<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the lecture On 7 October 1825, the Miramichi region of New Brunswick experienced one of the largest forest fires in recorded history while, next door, Maine suffered the most [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":366,"featured_media":9673,"template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":"","spc_primary_tribe_events_cat":0},"tags":[495,109,212,197,358,157,494,337],"tribe_events_cat":[211,130,90,53,129,89],"class_list":["post-9672","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-alan-maceachern","tag-canada","tag-canadian-history","tag-canadian-studies","tag-environmental-history","tag-history","tag-miramichi-fire","tag-new-brunswick","tribe_events_cat-canam-lectures","tribe_events_cat-graduate-students","tribe_events_cat-history","tribe_events_cat-public","tribe_events_cat-undergraduate-students","tribe_events_cat-visiting-faculty","cat_canam-lectures","cat_graduate-students","cat_history","cat_public","cat_undergraduate-students","cat_visiting-faculty"],"taxonomy_info":{"post_tag":[{"value":495,"label":"Alan MacEachern"},{"value":109,"label":"Canada"},{"value":212,"label":"Canadian history"},{"value":197,"label":"Canadian Studies"},{"value":358,"label":"environmental history"},{"value":157,"label":"history"},{"value":494,"label":"miramichi fire"},{"value":337,"label":"new brunswick"}],"tribe_events_cat":[{"value":211,"label":"CanAm Lectures"},{"value":130,"label":"Graduate Students"},{"value":90,"label":"History"},{"value":53,"label":"Public"},{"value":129,"label":"Undergraduate Students"},{"value":89,"label":"Visiting faculty"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2021\/03\/03-25-21-MacEachern-lecture-banner-w_-text-1024x536.jpg",1024,536,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"","author_link":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/author\/"},"comment_info":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/9672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/366"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/9672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9685,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/9672\/revisions\/9685"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9672"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=9672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
