Item Description
Published in 2002
In 1942, the superintendent of Nehasane park, the vast preserve west of Long lake owned by the wealthy Webb family, asked twenty-three year old Francis Boone to be the observer in the Park's fire tower. This is the story of that summer in the wilderness-a young woman finding her way in life alone in a fire tower, thinking of her boyfriend at war, immersed in her beloved outdoors, and coping with the ever present danger of living alone in the woods.
"... imagine you are perched atop a fire tower, seventy feet high, gazing at this huge expanse of trees and lakes. Feel the breeze against your face and drink in the spectacular Adirondacks. Now enjoy this beautifully written adventure and learn from Frances Boone Seaman's first-hand account what it was really like to be a fire observer in the Adirondacks."
