Review of "A lady's life in the Rocky Mountains" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The lady is quite the extreme risk taker and ace rider, and she writes a mean description of Divide beauty. It is too bad about the racism, but I really enjoyed this short book, perhaps nonfiction is the exception to my general dislike of epistolary narratives
