A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is a travel book, by Isabella Bird, describing her 1873 trip to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The book is a compilation of letters, that Isabella Bird wrote to her sister, Henrietta. Early in Colorado, she met Rocky Mountain Jim, described as a desperado, but with whom she got along quite well. She was the first white woman to stand atop Longs Peak, Colorado, pointing out that Jim «dragged me up, like a bale of goods, by sheer force of muscle.» Rocky Mountain Jim treated her quite well, and it is sad to note, he was shot to death, seven months later.
