About the Book

Do you know that -- the Great Pyramid is made of shellfish? The Grand Canyon has been dipped into the ocean three times? We are sinking at the rate of one foot every nine thousand years? The Mississippi delta will soon be as large as one of the smaller Balkan states? Camels once lived as natives in the United States? The Niagara River is new, the Rio Grande is a vagabond, and the Tennessee a pirate? Chalk is made chiefly of skeletons? "Romance of Geology" is one of Enos Mills' last books, published after his death in 1922. It is a great collection of stories of the lives of rivers, mountains, oceans and deserts, mirages and glaciers, for both the seasoned rock hound and the newly curious about the ways weather and elements have changed our world! Enos A. Mills is known as "The Father of Rocky Mountain National Park" and his many years of adventuring led to several books on the natural world and the fascinating stories he discovered in it. This edition has been published by the Enos Mills Cabin, owned and operated by descendants of Enos A. Mills. We have included letters and other memorabilia from our archives to make your experience with Enos' stories richer and more enjoyable. All purchases from the Enos Mills Cabin help keep his homestead museum and his works available to the public. We receive no financial help from government agencies. Thank you for your support!
About the Author: Enos A. Mills (1870-1922) is widely regarded as "The Father of Rocky Mountain National Park." He was a widely acclaimed naturalist, author, photographer, and speaker. He made his home at the base of Longs Peak, near Estes Park, Colorado. His homestead cabin which he built as a boy is still standing, now a private museum owned and operated by two of his descendants, Elizabeth Mills and Eryn Mills. A friend of John Muir, he published many short stories on his experiences in the raw wilderness of North America, many of which were compiled into over 17 books. Any purchase of Enos Mills books through the Enos Mills Cabin and Temporal Mechanical Press goes to the descendants to continue his legacy of preservation.
