How does an intelligent wild bear manage life in captivity? This is the first novel about the real bear cub who survived a forest fire high in the New Mexican mountains to become the living representative of his namesake, Smokey Bear. Badly burned, alone and forlorn amidst the devastation after the fire, the cub is rescued by Game Warden Ray Bell. Smokey adapts to life in the home of Ray’s family in Santa Fe, cavorting with the household puppy and cuddling with the four-year-old daughter. Before the little male bear becomes big enough to be dangerous, he must leave his human family. He is flown across the country to spend the rest of his long life at Washington’s National Zoo. Authentic photographs and apt quotations enhance this heartwarming and bittersweet story, written for adults but with appeal for all ages.

by Peter J. Barr (Author), Kevin Adams(Photographer)
A hiking guide and photography book on North Carolina’s lookout towers.
In the 1920s and 1930s, forestry organizations built dozens of lookout structures in Western North Carolina as the backbone of a firefighting system. Many of these lookouts survive in North Carolina today― they represent some of the best destinations for hikers who want to see the incredible vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 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).

Blue Ridge Fire Towers (Landmarks)

by Robert Sorrell (Author)
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

Standing Watch: The Fire Towers of Arizona
Rated 0 out of 5

by Eileen Moore(Author)
Standing Watch: The Fire Towers of Arizona explores the eighty one fire towers and cabins of Arizona, discussing the history of the towers and the lookout's role in guarding our forest against the threat of wildfire. The introduction discusses how the towers were built and the history of the Forest Service as it relates to the towers over the last 100 years. The photos give readers a close up glimpse of each tower while individual tower narratives detail the lives of the lookouts as they serve in isolated posts. Standing Watch also gives readers profiles of an Apache Hot Shot crew, a Navajo Fire Technician, two devastating wildfires as well as a personal look at a couple standing watch in southern Arizona. The book is an excellent introduction to these unique historical structures. The book is divided by agency, detailing towers for the six national forests, four native tribes, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service. A description of the tree towers from the early 1900's is included. Standing Watch is truly a unique tribute to the men and women who stand watch over the precious national resource represented in the vast forests of Arizona. The book is a valuable addition for any reader interested in the outdoors and the history of the southwest region of the United States.
