Ủng hộ


This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.

 

Like the glorious afterglow so often described in
A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains (1879), Isabella Bird’s 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 woman’s solo journey from California to Colorado. Whether you’re interested in nature, the history of the Rocky Mountain region, travel writing, Christianity, or women’s studies, Bird’s simple yet provocative letters will entertain your imagination.

Giới thiệu về tác giả


Born in Yorkshire, England, on October 15, 1831, Isabella Lucy Bird could have been described as a rambunctious little girl if it were not for the illness that often confined her to bed. She began traveling in her early twenties as a remedy to her back pain. The letters she sent home to her younger sister, Henrietta, became the source for her travel writings. The first woman to be elected to the Royal Geographical Society, Bird died in Edinburgh, Scotland, on October 7, 1904, with the final observation that she was ‘going home.’
