Hallie Morse Daggett loved spending time outdoors, hiking among the tall trees of the forests in California\'s Siskiyou Mountains.
This picture-book biography tells the Story of Hallie Morse Daggett, the First woman fire Guard hired by the US Forest Service, whose hard work and dedication led the way for other women to join the Forest Service..
But the Forest Service didn\'t know Hallie or how determined she could be.
But in the 1880s the Forest Service didn\'t hire women, thinking they couldn\'t handle the physical challenges of the work or the isolation.
And more than anything, she wanted to devote her life to protecting her beloved outdoors; she decided she would work for the US Forest Service.
But Hallie was afraid of fire and understood the threat it posed to the forests, wildlife, and people.
She wasn\'t afraid of the bears, coyotes, and wildcats.
