An anthology of stories of winter by Enos A. Mills, illustrated with photographs.
Enos Mills était un écrivain et activiste visionnaire dont le travail de toute une vie a abouti à la création du parc national des Montagnes Rocheuses. Poussé par un amour profond pour la nature sauvage, perfectionné par des aventures personnelles dans les Rocheuses, il est devenu un défenseur infatigable de la conservation. Par ses écrits et ses conférences, Mills a cherché à partager la beauté impressionnante de la nature et le besoin urgent de sa préservation. Son héritage perdure dans les paysages protégés qu'il a défendus.






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.
