The Hill of Adventure is about Beatrice Deems, her sister Nancy, and her Aunt Anna are spending the summer in the small town of Ely, in the Rocky Mountains. Because of an uprising of workers building an irrigation system for the valley, the girls and their aunt relocate to a mountain-side cabin where their aunt tells them the story of her long-lost brother. Therein begins the adventure to find their missing uncle.
Cornelia Lynde Meigs was born 6 December 1884, Rock Island, Illinois; died 10 September 1973, Hartford County, Maryland. She was the daughter of Montgomery and Grace Lynde Meigs.
The strong sense of family tradition that pervades much of Meigs' writing for young people comes naturally from her own appreciation of kinship and its values. A descendant of Commodore John Rogers of Revolutionary fame, Meigs grew up in a close-knit family on the Mississippi, where her father was a government engineer (https://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/meigs-cornelia-lynde). She sometimes used the pseudonym, Adair Aldon.
