Travelling largely on horseback through Colorado, Bird encountered remote settlements, dramatic mountain landscapes, difficult weather and the hardships of frontier life. Written as a series of letters to her sister, the book combines vivid descriptions of scenery with lively accounts of the people she meets, including the famous mountain man Jim Nugent.
