About this ebook
Like the glorious afterglow so often described in A Ladys Life in the Rocky Mountains (1879), Isabella Birds impassioned travelogue continues to delight us as it recounts escapades of blizzards, grizzly bears, and a desperado known as "Mountain Jim." A symbiotic weave of adventure and sentiment, the book recounts the story of an English womans solo journey from California to Colorado. Whether youre interested in nature, the history of the Rocky Mountain region, travel writing, Christianity, or womens studies, Birds simple yet provocative letters will entertain your imagination.
