Abstract:

Flying fire patrols took the place of the old fire towers that once loomed over state and national parks in North Carolina. The hourly patrols are much less costly than the old-style watchmen who man towers round the clock. In addition, some old WWII bombers have been used to fight forest fires in North Carolina.

Abstract:

In the Wilkes County Brushy Mountains, an old homestead known as \"the Old Southers Place\" remains on an abandoned farm. The architecture of the rustic mountain home is a testament to the life of pioneers of the early 1800s.
