A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains
Part of the Virgo Travellers series
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.
