A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains (Dover Value Editions)
reviewed on + 3563 more book reviews


In 1873, a middle-aged Englishwoman toured the Colorado Rockies on horseback alone, for the most part. Painting an intimate portrait of the "Wild West," Bird wrote eloquently of flora and fauna, isolated settlers and assorted refugees from civilization, vigilance committees, lynchings, and the manners among the men she encountered in the wilderness.


Beautiful gift book.
