Book Reviews of Isabella Lucy Bird's "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains": An Annotated Text

Book Review: A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains
Summary: 4 Stars

The book was an interesting account of Bird's travels through the Rocky Mountains, but as I read it, I kept wondering why, why, why? Why would a 41-year old woman travel through the Rockies on horseback in winter? Living in the area where she traveled, I appreciate the descriptions of the mountains and the awesomeness of nature which she elegantly describes. The book is an interesting travel log of her journey and adventures in 1873.
