Synopsis

The life of a lookout on a lonely peak often includes encounters with wildlife, large and small. Usually these encounters are of the friendly kind, and add measurably to the enjoyment of spending time in the out-of-doors. Some of those encounters, however, present a clear danger. In these pages are accounts of human interactions with porcupines, squirrels, birds, cougars, bears, deer, yellow jackets, rattlesnakes, and other creatures of the wild. 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.

À propos de l'auteur

The author grew up on a dairy farm in the Pacific Northwest adjacent to the Siuslaw National Forest, where her grandparents and great grandparents had been among the earliest settlers. Family outings often consisted of a drive over narrow dirt Forest Service roads winding through towering fir and spruce forests. The day would frequently include a primitive picnic, with venison steak threaded onto sharpened willow branches and broiled slowly over the glowing coals of a small cooking fire. Sometimes their travels through the foothills of the Coast Range led them to a fire lookout tower. This interest was expanded in later years when she and her husband began visiting fire lookouts and abandoned lookout sites. The fascination with the history of these sites led to an in-depth study and research of original documents pertaining to the subject, much of which is presented in these volumes.
