Isabella L Bird (1831 - 1904) was a 19th century British traveler
and writer. Since her father was a Church of England priest the
family moved many times during her childhood. Bird traveled to
Colorado when she heard the air was very healthy. She covered the
800 miles on horseback riding like a man and not sidesaddle. During
her adventure she wrote a series of letters home to her sister.
These were published in the Leisure Hour magazine. The letters were
later published in her most famous book A Lady's Life in the Rocky
Mountains.
