The book Red Wings Through the Forest details my 40-year hike through the Missouri Ozarks as a Forester and subsequently every state west of Missouri as a Wildland Fire Fighter. The stories of me wading through creeks and stomping out fires were detailed in my monthly activity reports. I chose the most interesting stories over that period of time compiling this book. I let my boots do the talking and I take the reader along on this hike as we travel through the woods, fight fire, and meet some amazing folks along the way.
