Mary Elitch Long: First Lady of Fun is the ninth book in the Now You Know Bio series from Filter Press. Author Debra B. Faulkner tells the fascinating life story of a Colorado business woman and founder of Elitch Zoological Gardens, Denver's first zoo.
“How pleased Mary Elitch Long would be to share memories of her Gardens with readers in the twenty-first century! Mary’s amusement park was beloved by people of all ages for its animals, its rides, and its famous theater. The “Know More” projects that invite interaction with Mary’s times and interests are an added bonus to this story of one of Colorado’s favorite ladies.” – Betty Lynne Hull, Elitch Gardens Park Historian |

Based on a true story from Colorado's high country mining town of Fairplay. The book is thirty-two pages and available in library binding. |
They had lived quite the life searching for gold. Up to the mines Prunes traipsed with Rupe, sometimes leading, sometimes following, but always carrying a gold pan, shovel, fry pan, coffeepot, ax, pick, rope, blankets, flour for flapjacks, bacon, sugar, and, of course, oats. Rupe swore Prunes had as good a nose for gold as he did. |  |
