The Rocky Mountain wonderland with illustrations… von Enos Abijah Mills
An enjoyable read. The chapters on performing 'autopsy s' on trees are interesting. Mills insight on the various animals that live in the area are wonderful. The last two chapters are helping build his case for national parks to preserve areas by comparing the US areas to Switzerland and pushing the idea that parks can be a revenue positive activity.

The first book I read about the Rockies and the area above tree limit was by Bee Willard? and was horticulture and land impact on horticulture. That was 1982 and now I found all the Enos Mills books. If one has never been into this area and around the area of Rocky Mountain National Park, then take the time to read this. It covers the land, plants, birds, trees, various animals in the different areas and the weather. I found it delightful and wish I knew about Mills back in the '80s as I always love a general description of where I'm going and this clearly is one. Just remember Mills is writing in 1910 and a lot of things have changed but many are still as he described. I'm off to read more of his books!… (mehr)
Based on the date this is probably the first book he published. Interesting short descriptions. There is a map tipped in. It will be interesting to see how many of these stories reappear in later books.
I found it to be a well written book by one the prime movers for the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park and a bit of history, natural history, geography, and horticulture of the region. I've been luck enough to go to several of the areas he describes in the park as well as Estes Park and down the Big Thompson Canyon. It's interesting to read something by someone inspired by John Muir.
