Fire Lookouts: Endings and Oddities

Some lookouts were able to be constructed because of fundraising efforts or by private donation. Some were placed on existing structures: Hotels, banks, barns, water towers, etc. Some were of very unusual design. When no longer needed, some were destroyed, abandoned, sold to the highest bidder; or sometimes reconstructed at a different site. These volumes contain many historic photographs; some of the older photographs and picture postcards are of poor quality, but were included for their historical value. This book is not in narrative form, but is a collection of news articles and official forestry reports in their original form, products of many years of research by of original documents by Ron Kemnow for his website ronkemnow.weebly.com.
