Adirondack Firetowers: Their History and Lore, Southern Districts

Author: Martin Podskoch

Martin Podskoch brings together the history and stories surrounding the Adirondack Fire Towers in the words of the observers, and rangers who supervised them and the pilots who replaced them in the southern half of New York State’s Adirondack Mountains.

“This book tells the story of the towers in the words of the observers who staffed them, their spouses, children, and friends. Marty Podskoch spent many months of travel throughout the Adirondacks tracing down these folks. This is a remarkable piece of research and a must-read for those of us who climb fire tower summits and wonder about the towers’ history.” – John Freeman.
