Her letters to her sister, first printed in the magazine Leisure Hour, comprised her fourth and perhaps most famous book, A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains. Bird's time in the Rockies was enlivened especially by her acquaintance with Jim Nugent, "Rocky Mountain Jim", a textbook outlaw with one eye and an affinity for violence and poetry. "A man any woman might love but no sane woman would marry," Bird declared in a section excised from her letters before their publication. Nugent also seemed captivated by the independent-minded Bird, but she ultimately left the Rockies and her "dear desperado." Nugent was shot dead less than a year later. Other notable books by Isabella Bird include Unbeaten Tracks in Japan, Journeys in Persia and Kurdistan, Among the Tibetans, and The Englishwoman in America. Review: Amazing woman, loved to have met her. - Having read the book and marvelled at Isabella's endurance even though it is only letters I feel a bit cheated it having no maps, photos etc. I bought the book after seeing the first episode of the BBC programme where three so-called celebrities starting with Ruby Wax, were out on a jolly to emulate Isabella. Forget the programme it's a travesty of Isabella's travels. Nothing like it. Even to the point in the last episode of so called 'climbing' Pikes Peak. Bad editing you could even see the road that I have driven up at one point. Isabella did NOT climb Pikes Peak, she climbed Longs Peak in winter with three men. Amazing. I have ordered the other book hoping for more than just words. Review: Informative book of a very interesting journey by a victorian lady in the Rocky Mountains Colorado - Print was quite small and a few maps indicating her journey would be interesting but it is essentially a diary written by herself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 391,573 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 37,487 in Biographies & Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 42 Reviews | ## Images ![A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QFdef-RUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing woman, loved to have met her. *by G***T on 29 December 2022* Having read the book and marvelled at Isabella's endurance even though it is only letters I feel a bit cheated it having no maps, photos etc. I bought the book after seeing the first episode of the BBC programme where three so-called celebrities starting with Ruby Wax, were out on a jolly to emulate Isabella.
