I would like to inquire whether the library has a copy of Enis mills book titled “the story of Estes Park and a guidebook”. I have a first addition, signed, copy in decent condition. I have had no luck finding a value for the book online and I’m hoping to find an institution that will value, care for and preserve the book.

Hello Christine! Thank you for your comment. Our collection development policy is to take two copies of items. We are fortunate enough to have two first edition copies of "The Story of Estes Park and a Guidebook" in our collection. You may want to check with your local history society to see if they are interested!

The Rocky Mountains should be one of the Natural Wonders of the World. My first sight produced a feeling of awe, majesty and respect for nature. The degree of impression that first sight ingrained in my memory will be part of me, forever.

Hi Ezequiel. We got this information about Enos Mills from the library's collection of Enos Mills' original papers and photos, and from the books he published (these are old books, but you can find them in the Western History and Genealogy Dept.) I hope this biography helps you with your project! Let us know if you have more questions for your project.

Please fact-check your death date: "Enos passed away on September 22nd, 1922."
Most sources, like Wild and Esther Mills, say September 21, 1922.
