"America owes a debt to Enos Mills, a strange, intense, dark, mysterious, cantankerous fellow from Kansas who met John Muir on the beach one day when he was a young man, felt the influence of the master, then moved to Colorado to explore the northern Rockies and fight tirelessly for Rocky Mountain National Park, as his mentor had for the big parks in the Sierra Nevadas. Alexander Drummond...has provided an important service to those interested in the history of conservation by researching and writing this definitive biography of Mills....How many of us can say that while we were here we caused as much improvement in this world as mills did? A good biography--and this is one--can cause us to reevaluate our lives."DRUMMOND, Alexander is the author of 'Enos Mills Citizen of Nature' with ISBN 9780870816697 and ISBN 0870816691.
