History / Biographical
Isaac (Ike) Mills, 1891-1964, was a guide, dog musher, hunter, horseman and businessman at Banff, Alberta, Canada. Born in Yorkshire, Mills came to Banff in 1910 where he guided during the summers and pioneered the use of sled dogs for winter transportation. Following service in the First World War, he transported mail by dogsled and in the 1920s, worked in the motion picture industry on dog films. His sled Huskies raced in the late 1920s and were used in the Skoki area in the 1930s. Mills hunted cougars for bounty outside Banff National Park with trained dogs during the 1930s. In 1939 Mills was ordered to remove his hunting and sled dogs from the national park. Mills also operated a livery stable and riding school on Bear Street in Banff from 1930 until his death.
