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.'

Bartlett 06:39:36 - 24 - Ladybird by Edith Barnard The first part of this volume consists of stories by modern writers dealing mainly with life in our own day. They are, of course, meant for the older children, and both the style and the situations call for more maturity on the part of the reader. The lure of the extraordinary is now dispensed with, and instead these tales supply the interest that comes from recognizable truth to experience. The list of fiction contained in this volume, representing the imaginative product of almost all races and times, is fitly closed by the gift made to the children of England of a story for themselves by the master of English novelists, William Makepeace Thackeray. - Summary by William Patten More information: https://librivox.org/the-junior-classics-vol9-stories-of-today-by-william-patten/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
