Re-print of the original U.S. Forest Service Cookbook furnished to the rangers who staffed the fire lookout towers in the northern Rocky Mountains. This historic cooking manual was compiled by United States Forest Service volunteeers in 1938.From the introduction: "The idea back of this book is to furnish tried and approved recipes in amounts suitable for one or two men which can be prepared from the food furnished the lookouts. The persons who furnished recipes were requested to refrain from calling for any food supplies not furnished. The book was tried out by nearly a hundred lookouts, smokechasers, small crews, etc., during the 1937 season and their comments and suggestions are included."
