Harriet Backus writes about her life as an assayer's wife and true
pioneer of the West with heart-felt emotion and vivid detail.
Sharing her amusing and often challenging experiences as a new
bride in the high San Juan Mountains where the Tomboy Mine operated
above Telluride, Colorado, she paints a poignant picture of the
people, and the life centered around silver mining where most of
the book takes place. It is a skillfully written account from a
women's perspective in a rough and tumble mining town that has made
this book a classic for women's studies. Harriet's life followed
her husband George's career which took them many places beyond the
San Juan Mountains including the rugged coast of British Columbia,
and the mountainous mining town of Elk City, Idaho and back to
Colorado's Leadville. Although both Hattie and George were from the
San Francisco bay area where they eventually retired, her heart
never quite left the rugged mountain trails of the high San Juans
of Colorado.
