Description
A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is a travelogue that chronicles Isabella Bird's 1873 journey to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The book is based on a series of letters she wrote to her sister, Henrietta, detailing her adventures and experiences in the region.
Isabella's travels took her from Hawaii to San Francisco, and then on to the Colorado Territory, where she encountered a range of people and landscapes. One notable encounter was with Rocky Mountain Jim, a man who became a close friend and companion during her time in the mountains.
Published in 2020, this book remains a fascinating account of one woman's journey into the American West, and is considered one of Isabella Bird's most notable works.
