Description

In the Preface, Mr. Mills wrote: Scotch and I were companions through eight years. Winter and summer we explored the rugged mountains of the Continental Divide. ... Often we were cold; more often we were hungry. ... Never did he complain and at all times he showed remarkable intelligence and absolute fidelity. The thousands who have watched him play by my cabin on the slope of Long's Peak and the other thousands who have read of his unusual experiences will be interested, I am sure, in this complete story of his life. Enos Mills, a naturalist, homestead, public speaker, and author, is often referred to as "the father of Rocky Mountain National Park."
