And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Judging from the trees, I'll hazard a guess that was a bunch of cottonwood "down" burning on top of green grass. Idiots walking around in front of the flame path never learned the concept of "staying in the black".
Back burn -- you can see the progress of the burn against the prevailing direction of the wind. A "back burn" burns hotter, more completely. Used in agriculture (fields) and forestry to clear underbrush.
