An anthology of stories of winter by Enos A. Mills, illustrated with photographs.
Enos Mills was een visionaire schrijver en activist wiens levenslange werk culmineerde in de oprichting van Rocky Mountain National Park. Gedreven door een diepe liefde voor de wildernis, aangescherpt door persoonlijke avonturen in de Rocky Mountains, werd hij een onvermoeibare voorvechter van natuurbescherming. Door zijn geschriften en lezingen probeerde Mills de ontzagwekkende schoonheid van de natuur en de dringende noodzaak van behoud ervan te delen. Zijn nalatenschap leeft voort in de beschermde landschappen die hij bepleitte.






An anthology of stories of winter by Enos A. Mills, illustrated with photographs.
This volume is the consequence of dissecting all previous editions and selecting the essence of the very early times spent in Estes Park. Enos A. Mills' first book, "The Story of Early Estes Park and a Guide Book" is, as always, a glorious experience to explore the Estes Park of the past. Enos did not include the "Guide" section in his second edition "The Story of Estes Park". Nor did the subsequent editions "The Story of Estes Park and Grand Lake", "The Rocky Mountain National Park Memorial Edition", "Early Estes Park", and "The Story of Early Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Lake". We have tried to remain faithful to the original "paleface" names of areas, rock formations and canyons of this time period, simply because we cannot keep up with the recent explosion of confusing name changes. We have added a few new goodies we hope you will enjoy. We thank the Stanley Museum of Estes Park, Colorado and Kingfield, Maine, for graciously allowing us to include a portion of Flora's personal perspective of Estes Park.
"The pathway to the Heroic Age through the forest lies."
This book is about Enos Mills (the Father of Rocky Mountain National Park) and his border collie, Scotch, and their many adventures together.
