A LADYS LIFE IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS - ISABELLA ...

A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is a travel book  by Isabella Bird  describing her 1873
trip to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The book is a compilation of letters that Isabella
Bird wrote to her sister  Henrietta. In 1872  Isabella left Britain  going first to Australia 
then to Hawaii  which she refers to as the Sandwich Islands. In 1873 she travelled to Colorado
then the Colorado Territory. After living a time in Hawaii  she takes a boat  to San Francisco.
She passed the area of Lake Tahoe  to Cheyenne  Wyoming  to ultimate Estes Park  Colorado  also
elsewhere in and near the Rocky Mountains of the Colorado Territory. Early in Colorado  she met
Rocky Mountain Jim  described as a desperado  but with whom she got along quite well. She
described him as  He is a man whom any woman might love but no sane woman would marry. She was
the first white woman to stand atop Longs Peak  Colorado  pointing out that Jim dragged me up 
like a bale of goods  by sheer force of muscle. Rocky Mountain Jim treated her quite well  and
it is sad to note  he was shot to death  seven months later. After many other adventures 
Isabella Bird ultimately took a train  east. Upon publication  A Lady's Life in the Rocky
Mountains proved an instant bestseller and is still considered to be her best work.
