It was during the autumn and early winter of 1873 that she made this extended tour of the Rocky Mountain area of Colorado, when she was on her way back to England from the Sandwich Islands. What she called "no region for tourists and women" is today a popular resort, though the back trails retain their inaccessibility and wild aspects.

She climbed Longs Peak, then traveled through Estes Park, the mining areas, on down Boulder Canyon to Longmont, through the Big Thompson and St. Vrain canyons, and then on to Denver. Wearing Hawaiian dress and mounted on "Birdie," her borrowed pony, she was guided by desperado Mountain Jim, who entertained her with recitations of poetry and cultivated conversation. She stayed in mountain cabins, viewed a world of lance committees, lynchings, and desperadoes quick on the trigger, and noted everywhere that improbably combination of opposites which was the American West.

The story of her Rocky Mountain adventure, first published in a genteel British weekly in 1878, is told through her letters to her sister. Published in book form in England in 1879, it went through eight editions in England and the United States between thenand 1894.

Nothing is more impressive in this vivid account than Isabella Bird's feeling for the nuance and variety of mountain life. Here is indeed a a rare woman's-eye-view of the life and manners and the difficulties and beauties of the unspoiled West that will appeal to women and men alike.
