About This Book

A series of nature essays and field narratives recounts long seasons of mountain travel and winter camping on the high Rockies, blending practical natural-history observation with personal adventure. The writer records duties as a snow observer, descriptions of alpine trees, beavers, birds, and forest types, accounts of climbing peaks and camping without firearms, and encounters with miners, prospectors, and large mammals. Essays move between scientific notes, vivid landscape description, and anecdotal sketches of camp life, illustrating seasonal changes, snow distribution, and the habits and works of wild species.
