1Wild Life on the Rockies

By Enos A. Mills

"This book contains the record of a few of the many happy days and novel experiences which I have had in the wilds. For more than twenty years it has been my good fortune to live most of the time with nature, on the mountains of the West. I have made scores of long exploring rambles over the mountains in every season of the year, a nature-lover charmed with the birds and the trees. On my later excursions I have gone alone and without firearms. During three succeeding winters, in which I was a Government Experiment Officer and called the "State Snow Observer," I scaled many of the higher peaks of the Rockies and made many studies on the upper slopes of these mountains." (Summary from the Preface of <i>Wild Life on the Rockies</i>)

Enos Mills (1870-1922 ), naturalist and conservationist, was instrumental in the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park. Like his mentor John Muir, Mills was an intrepid solitary high country rambler, as well as an accomplished Colorado mountain guide. There are mountain tales aplenty in "Adventures of a Nature Guide." At one point, Mills climbs Long's Peak alone in a gale with winds topping 170 mph., "carried away with the wild, elemental eloquence of the storm." Near the summit, the wind is so fierce he cannot make headway, so he concludes to "reverse ends." "Putting a shoulder against a rock point, I allowed the wind to push my legs around. This . . . enabled me to brace effectively with my feet, and also to hang on more securely with my hands. . . There was no climbing; the wind sucked, dragged, pushed, and floated me ever upward." Summary by Sue Anderson.

3Grizzly, Our Greatest Wild Animal

By Enos A. Mills

During the past thirty years I have had numerous experiences with the grizzly bear in various sections of his territory. The material in this book is drawn chiefly from my own experiences with grizzly bears in the wilderness. (Summary adapted from the Preface)

4Book of the Ancient Greeks

By Dorothy Mills

An Introduction to the History and Civilization of Greece from the Coming of the Greeks to the Conquest of Corinth by Rome in 146 B.C.<br><br> The spirit of a nation is expressed and its history is recorded in three ways: in its political history, in its literature and in its art. The aim of this book has been to use such parts of the political history of the Greeks, of their literature and of their art as seem to have been the outward and visible signs of the spirit that inspired them. - Summary from the subtitle and preface<br><br> <b>Cast list for the play in Pt 2 Ch 14:</b><br> Iphigenia: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/15373">WendyKatzHiller</a><br>Orestes, her brother: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17006">nzk13</a><br>Pylades, friend to Orestes: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8011">Greg Giordano</a><br>Thoas, King of Tauris: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7170">Alan Mapstone</a><br>A Herdsman: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17823">hmpecker</a><br>A Messenger: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/14540">Andrew Gaunce</a><br>Chorus Leader: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11084">Devorah Allen</a><br>Chorus Member: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17783">BookBard</a><br>Athena: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17346">elmachina</a><br>Narrator: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/3157">TriciaG</a><br>
