STISSING MOUNTAIN

Delaware County

August 24, 1933:
  "During the past week several men who are attached to the Boston Corners camp of the Conservation commission have been at work on Stissing Mountain here at Pine Plains.  The preliminary work of road building to the fire tower which is to be erected on the top of the highest peak has started.  The pinnacle is 1400 feet above sea level of nearly 1000 feet above the level of Stissing Lake, which is at the base of the mountain."   (The Register-Herald)

December 14, 1933:   "Work on the fire observation tower on big Stissing mountain is progressing rapidly and will be completed within the next few weeks.  The trail to the tower has been opened and graded, also poles set for a telephone line.
      The walk up the mountain is real uphill work, but when one reaches the summit, a worthwhile view comes into sight, the countryside for miles around is visible.  With the aid of glasses, it is hard to estimate the number of miles distance to be seen from this point.
      When the work is completed, a ranger will be appointed to take up the work at this station.  It is rumored that this appointment will be a political one."   (The Register-Herald)

January 25, 1934:   "The eighty foot International Stacy steel tower located on Big Stissing, at an alitude of 1440 feet above sea level.  This completed the entire fire detection system for Durches county.  This tower will work in cooperation with the towers located on Mt. Beacon and Clove Mountain.
​      A gift from the Civilian Conservation Corps to the Conservation Department as a project for the C.C.C. camps.  Construction began on this tower on November 15th, and in spite of the extreme cold weather and considerable high winds, the boys from C.C.C. camp No., 1, located at Boston Corners, worked faithful throughout the winter in order that it might be completed in record time.
      Permission for a right of way were given by Victor C. Jordan and Mrs. Kate Stuggard.  It was necessary to build about two and one-half miles from the Stissing Lake road to the summit of Stissing Mountain, and about 3- miles of telephone line from the tower to the village.  These projects were completely carried out out by the C.C.C. men.
      Humphrey Hedgecock, District Forest Ranger has supervision of the work.  The C.C.C. men were transported from Boston Corners to the work every day by trucks."   (The Register-Herald)

Hart has received the appointment of Forest Ranger, to be stationed at Stissing Mountain.  He received his appointment last Thursday from Lithgow Osborne, Conservation Department Commissioner, Division of Lands and Forests.  Mr. Hart will be stationed at the fire tower from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, with the exception of rainy weather.  The appointment will cover from seven to nine months each year depending on the weather conditions.
      A telephone line has been installed by the CCC boys of Boston Corners to the fire tower from the local office of the Copake Telephone company.  Maps and charts of this section have been placed in the tower and plans are under way for a cabin to be built near the tower in the near future.  Mr. Hart will receive his instructions from H.F. Hedgecock, district manager."   (Register Herald)

August 12, 1937:   "Last Saturday afternoon, 'The Pines' a show place in this village, owned by L.D. Smith was struck by lightning.  The bolt struck the cupola on the roof and at that time, Mr. Smith went out in the yard and could discover nothing amiss.  However about one half hour later, smoke was seen arising by Observer Hart, who was on duty in the Stissing Mountain fire tower, and he sent in the alarm.  The damage was confined to the cupola, where the timbers under the slate roof were smoldering.
      Considerable damage was done to the residence when a two inch hose that had been taken up through the hallway broke on the second floor, flooding the hall."   (The Register-Herald)

Hedgecock, district ranger of the state Conservation department.  The tower will remain open during the summer and fall.
      The normal spring fire hazard is quite serious this spring, as the grass and brush are well dried out with the high winds."   (The Register-Herald)

May 17, 1945:   "George Will, attendant at the fire tower on Stissing Mountain, reported the telephone receiver was stolen from the tower.  He believes the theft may have occurred last week Wednesday night.  Because of the heavy rains he was not on duty Thursday.  The telephone box was not taken.
      The taking of this equipment is a very serious offense.  It might have caused serious trouble if a fire had occurred anywhere in the large territory under Mr. Will's supervision and he had been unable to report it immediately.  Fortunately this year, possibly due to rainy weather, there have been but four fires to report.  Up until this time last year there were 26.
      This has not been the first time a theft has occurred at the tower.  Last November a telescope was taken.  As Mr. Will is responsible for the equipment he was assessed $35 for the loss.  No trace has ever been found of this theft.
      An investigation is being conducted and the party, if caught, may be dealt with severely.  Scarcity of telephone instruments could hold up replacement, tho Mr. Ackley of the Copake Telephone company was able to provide one by Monday."   (The Register-Herald)

      In the time since the Stissing tower was closed there has been considerable damage caused by unknown people visiting the top of the peak.  A cabin at the tower's base had been broken into.  Floor joists under the porch had been chopped at, windows were broken and boards had been ripped off.  Someone had also broken into the tower observatory.  The old door had been chopped through and floor boards were cut.  Only recently the observer's out house was pushed off its foundation.  Since the station was opened, Observer Traver and District Ranger Richard Swanson have kept close watch on the station."   (The Register-Herald)
