Note 44.488 MOUNT-L 488 of 517 CUPIDO::STRITAR "Andrej Stritar, IJS,(61)-1885-450" 22 lines 12-JAN-1995 08:11 CUPIDO::STRITAR "Andrej Stritar, IJS,(61)-1885-450" 22 lines 12-JAN-1995 08:11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subj: Re: Mt Silverheels Date: 11-Jan-1995 Posted-date: 11-Jan-1995 Denise: I really enjoyed your account of the climb. Sounds to me like you were sorta lucky, huh? Have you read "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains" by Isabella L. Bird, published by Univ. of Oklahoma Press. It is something of a classic. Apparently Isabella was from a "good" family in England when the caste system was really working. About all a woman could do, other than get married & bear children, was become a missionary. But, that wasn't for Isabella. He had "ill health" and travelled...you know, India, all over Europe, etc. Then she discov ered the Rockies and even spent a winter there in 1873. She climbed Long's Peak and many others...but, hell, I don't want to ruin her account for you. Get the book. Maybe a library has it but if not, it is only a small thing and not costly. And, I'd be interested in what you think of it. Bill (BillDan@aol.com)
