A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains (Warbler Classics)
Langbeschreibung
Isabella Bird traveled by horseback from Truckee, California, through the Tahoe Basin and on to Colorado where, during the autumn and early winter of 1873, she explored more than eight hundred miles of Rocky Mountain terrain only recently opened to pioneer settlement. Riding not sidesaddle but frontwards like a man (though she threatened to sue the Times for saying she dressed like one), she encountered magnificent unspoiled landscapes and abundant wildlife-including rattlesnakes, wolves, pumas, and grizzly bears.

Isabella Bird (1831-1904) was a British explorer, writer, photographer, and naturalist. She began traveling at the age of twenty-three-first to America, then eventually, to Australia, Hawaii, and Colorado. In her later travels she journeyed to Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Morocco, India, Persia, Armenia, Kurdistan, Turkey, and Iran. Featured in journals and magazines for decades, Bird was, by 1890, a household name. She was the first woman to be awarded Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and the first woman elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
