A Chain Of Surveyor Stories, volume 1

In the course of their survey work they all have reminiscences and anecdotes of unique experiences, distinctive characters, historical discoveries, bizarre deed descriptions, involved technical surveys, out of the way locations, differing opinions, etc. that have cropped up over time. Many are the tales told during evenings in a wilderness survey camp or wherever surveyors gather at their leisure. This anthology is just a small collection of surveyors’ stories gathered from the authors.
