Enos Mills: Citizen of Nature

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating piece of scholarship
Review: This ranks among the best biographies I have read. Drummond's research is expansive and he synthesizes it all into a very readable, interesting book. He chronicles politics surrounding the formation of the Park Servie and the Forest Service, paints a fascinating picture of early day tourism, and tells the gripping story of an ardent, if sometimes misguided, naturalist. My interest is spurred---I'm going to read some of the books Drummond lists in his extensive biography.
