Uncle Sam's Cabins: A Visitor's Guide to Historic U.S. Forest Service Ranger Stations of the West

Uncle Sam's Cabins: A Visitor's Guide to Historic U.S. Forest Service Ranger Stations of the West by Les Joslin. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780964716711.

Uncle Sams Cabins is a step back in time to seventy-five historic U.S. Forest Service ranger and guard stations throughout the West -- stations from which early-day forest rangers patrolled and protected Americas magnificent national forests. At once a history and a guide, this book -- with 272 pages, 130 photographs, and seven maps -- introduces early forest rangers and their historic ranger stations. Some of these sites remain in use as ranger or guard stations. Others are preserved and interpreted by the Forest Service. Still others are abandoned, their futures uncertain. All are fascinating. Access information is provided for each. "...Uncle Sams Cabins is the perfect companion for those who enjoy a little history and a story or two when exploring our national forests." -- Jim Forst, Oregon Outside, Winter 1996-97
