He Came & Stayed: Pieter Hondius, The Estes Park Years

Description Authored by James H. Pickering This biographical history traces the life and accomplishments of one of Estes Park’s most important, yet least know, pioneer residents. Investing in both land and cattle, Hondius quickly established himself as one of the Estes Valley’s most prosperous rancher-farmers, and his holdings within what became Rocky Mountain National Park made him its largest private inholder. Those who have an established relationship with Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park will enjoy the life story of the man who made much of it possible. Softcover, 314pgs.
