{"product_id":"blue-ridge-fire-towers-robert-sorrell-9781540212641","title":"Blue Ridge Fire Towers","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Sorrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540212645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540212641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Robert Sorrell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996319842559,"sku":"9781540212641","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce52d005-8491-49d3-b428-d2acb9e013a8.jpg?v=1683341006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blue-ridge-fire-towers-robert-sorrell-9781540212641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
