The book cover I show and the product description below are from a more recent addition, available on amazon.com. The book I received was printed in 1908 and I am amazed that the Blackstone Memorial Library of Branford, CN actually allowed a book that was printed 100 and 1 years ago to go out on Interlibrary Loan.
Naturally the writing was dated, and in the over sentimental style of the Victorians. Still it was a remarkable story of a woman of many accomplishments and great physical courage. I had not realized from reading the book about her travels in the Rocky Mountains that she was in such poor physical health. She suffered all her life from a very painful spinal condition and never let it slow her down one little bit as she traveled all over the world, sometimes in the most primitive conditions. My hat's off to her.
