Blue ridge fire towers / by Sorrell, Robert,author.(CARDINAL)409046;
Bibliography: pages 133-135.Early lookouts -- The fire tower -- The lookout -- End of an era -- Fire tower preservation.Fire lookout towers have graced the highest peaks in the Blue Ridge Mountains for more than a century. Early mountaineers and conservationists began constructing lookouts during the late 1800s. By the 1930s, states and the federal government had built thousands of towers around the country, many in the Blue Ridge. While technology allowed forestry services to use other means for early detection of fires, many towers still stand as a testament to their significance. Author Robert Sorrell details the fascinating history of the lookouts in the Blue Ridge's forests.

Fire season [sound recording] field notes from a wilderness lookout by Connors, Philip.; Runnette, Sean.nrt; Blackstone Audio, Inc.(CARDINAL)346395;
Read by Sean Runnette.For nearly a decade, Philip Connors has spent half of each year in a seven-by-seven-foot fire-lookout tower, ten thousand feet above sea level in one of the most remote territories of New Mexico. One of the least developed parts of the country, the first region designated as an official wilderness area in the world, it is also one of the most fire-prone, suffering more than thirty thousand lightning strikes each year. Written with gusto and charm, Fire Season captures the grandeur of this most unusual job and place. Connors' time up on the peak is filled with drama--fires large and small; spectacular midnight lightning storms; surprise encounters with various wildlife. Filled with Connors' heartfelt reflections, Fire Season is a remarkable homage to the beauty of nature, the blessings of solitude, and the freedom of the independent spirit.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 361-366) and index."A hiking guide and photography book on North Carolina's lookout towers.

Part hiking guide and part photography collection, this book contains wonderful stories about the history and folklore of the lookouts and their fire lookout inhabitants, a detailed guide of hikes to each, and details about the views at the top-all provided by a local, long-term land preservationist and lookout fanatic Peter J. Barr. Barr's text is augmented by the amazing full color photographs of well-known nature photographer Kevin Adams (North Carolina Waterfalls)."--
