About this product
Product Information
The early years in the development of the fire lookout system were fraught with difficult decisions, hard work, and danger. Roads and trails had to be built, materials had to be transported. Building materials and supplies were carried up steep, treacherous mountainsides on the backs of horses, mules, and men. Primitive conditions were met with courage, grit, and determination. The people who built and the people who staffed and maintained these lookouts were often exposed to extremes in weather; heat, blizzards, wind and lightning. Occasional accidents and illnesses were to be expected and sometimes had tragic consequences. The earliest lookouts consisted of the top of a tree; an alidade mounted on a crude support or on a tripod; or simply a mountain top where an observer scanned the surrounding countryside with a powerful field glass, always on the alert for the slightest wisp of smoke. Working conditions improved considerably in later years, but there were still elements of danger, loneliness, and the ever-present need to be alert. The historical information in these volumes is the culmination of many years of research of original documents by Ron Kemnow for his website, ronkemnow.weebly.com. Also included are many historical photographs. This book is not in narrative form, but is a collection of official reports, letters, and news articles, presented as they were originally written.
