Fire Lookouts: Life And Limb

When alone on a mountain top and the unexpected happens--a sudden illness or accident--the afflicted person must deal with the situation the best he can, and sometimes wait hours for help to arrive. Then, occasionally, he or she must travel many miles on foot, by horseback, or by stretcher, to get to medical help. This volume contains original accounts of and by the men and women (and sometimes children) who experienced these accidents and illnesses. 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.
