Some interesting first hand accounts of life in the forest service in the early days. Tales of lookouts, fires and logging camps. http://npshistory.com/publications/usfs/region/1/early-days/4/contents.htm

I just googled an area for info where I was hiking this week in Idaho and it popped up.
There are actually 5 volumes and it looks like you can purchase them here: https://forestservicemuseum.org/product/early-days-in-the-forest-service-5-volume-set/
