A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is biographical work of Isabella Lucy Bird, married name Bishop FRGS, was a nineteenth-century British explorer, writer, photographer, and naturalist. 

A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains details this fascinating account of her travels through a series of letters written to her sister, Henrietta. These letters are filled with beautiful, vivid descriptions of the scenery, the people she encountered, the way of life, and a mountain man named Jim Nugent, that was as rough as they come, but a complete gentleman with Ms. Bird.
