However, it is a work of fiction and any resemblance to living persons or actual places is accidental.}}The hero of the story is John Vogelin, a New Mexico rancher whose land is about to be condemned by the United States Air Force, who want to use his land to expand a bombing range. He is the last holdout among the several people whose land the Air Force wants, and he refuses to move. The story of his resistance to being thrown off his land and his death is told through the eyes of his grandson, who is visiting the ranch for the summer.[4] Critic on GovernmentThe book is essentially a critique on the over-extension of the government, and an argument for what is typically summed up as "Don't Tread on Me." This somewhat libertarian or anarchist viewpoint (especially regarding the environment and nature) is reflected in many of Abbey's other works, including Desert Solitaire and The Monkey Wrench Gang. Film, TV or theatrical adaptationsIn 1981 the book was made into a made-for-television movie, Fire on the Mountain. Buddy Ebsen played John Vogelin and Ron Howard played Lee Mackie.[5] Folk singer Laura Veirs wrote a song called "The Ballad of John Vogelin". It appeared on her 2003 record "Troubled By The Fire".[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Edward Abbey Biography|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0007872/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm|website=IMDb}} {{Edward Abbey}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Fire On The Mountain (Novel)}}2. ^{{cite book|author=Edward Abbey|title=Jonathan Troy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OsV6GQAACAAJ|year=1954|publisher=Dodd, Mead}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Lonely Are the Brave (1962)|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056195/?ref_=nv_sr_1|website=IMDb}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Edward Abbey|title=Fire on the Mountain|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xpbPAAAAMAAJ|year=1962|publisher=Dial Press}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Fire on the Mountain (1981)|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082380/|website=IMDb}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Laura Veirs|url=https://www.amazon.com/Laura-Veirs/e/B00197I2NU/digital/ref=ntt_mp3_rdr?_encoding=UTF8&sn=d|website=Amazon Laura Veirs Bio}} 6 : 1962 American novels|Novels by Edward Abbey|American novels adapted into films|Western (genre) novels|Novels set in New Mexico|Novels adapted into television programs |
