Fire Lookouts: Hot, Dry, Windy, Wet, Frozen, Electrified and Horrified

Fire lookouts experience extremes in weather: Heat and cold, gale-force winds, rain and snow, electric storms. They are alone on high mountaintops in cabins or high towers to deal with whatever comes their way, with courage and ingenuity. 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. 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 official reports, letters, and news articles, presented as they were originally written.
