description: 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.
