For the first quarter of the twentieth century the names Enos Mills and Estes Park were virtually synonymous. Mills' base of operations was his rustic mountain inn at the foot of Longs Peak, where he wrote some sixteen books and scores of magazine and newspaper articles familiarizing the nation with the scenic wonders and animal life of the Rocky Mountain West. Rocky Mountain National Park owes its existence to the tenacity and vision of Enos Mills. The straightforward stories Mills told of his wilderness adventures with snow slides, wild beasts, and even wilder weather are exciting and fun--good reading on a quiet afternoon. James Pickering, a foremost expert on the life and writing on Enos Mills, has collected the stories that truly express Mills' experiences in Colorado. The reader is transported to the turn of the 19th century as Enos Mills guides them through the Rocky Mountain wilderness.
