Wonderful story

I read this book several years ago after moving to Estes Park. I enjoyed this audio version even more. It's amazing that this story is simply a compilation of Bird's letters to her sister. She is a vivid writer.

Just incredible - a masterpiece

Why aren't there more audible titles from her. Best book I've read in the last ten years, and I've read hundreds. What an adventure! It's a pioneer story and amazing insight in frontier life. Here is an example - she discovered these things towns were putting in called roads. Yes, Rome had roads quite before. Her writing is clear and thoughtful and most importantly... Not dated. Sure, what she she's is 150 years old, but her writing voice could be from yesterday.

Outstanding narration!

Great book about a strong and adventurous woman in the mid 1800s. Descriptive writing at its best, it is easy to visualize landscape, animals, people. Read the book but also listened to the audio - narrator had a great voice which enhanced the written word.

Great tale of the Rockies in 1919 from a lady

Excellent writing....and narrative. ... Rocky Mountain live in the 1919 Estes Park from a lady's point of view dot dot dot talks about the strength, the cold, and connection they all had to have and that period... very descriptive.

monotonous... singular

how many times can the author discuss weather? every time the weather was the same temperature wise it was either glorious or ghastly with no reason given for the extreme.

the circulatory messaging around Mountain Jim was confusing to say the least.
