A Mountain Boyhood

by Joe Mills

Overview

Estes Park was hardly more than a post office in 1899, when young Joe Mills first saw Colorado's Front Range. A would-be Robinson Crusoe, Joe scaled peaks, watched wild animals, hunted and trapped, and generally roughed it in the region that would become Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915. This, the true story of his adventures there, is as rich in human as in natural history.
