Produktbeschreibung

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.
