DERVLA
MURPHY,
IRISH
TIMESBorn
in
1831,
Isabella,
daughter
of
a
clergyman,
set
off
alone
to
the
Antipodes
in
1872
'in
search
of
health'
and
found
she
had
embarked
on
a
life
of
adventurous
travel.
A
year
later
she
took
a
solo
trip
from
San
Francisco
to
the
Rocky
Mountains.'I
dreamt
of
bears
so
vividly
I
woke
with
a
furry
death-hug
at
the
my
throat,
but
feeling
quite
refreshed.'
The
intrepid
journeys
of
the
indefatigable
Miss
Bird
are
relayed
here
in
the
delightful
letters
she
wrote
to
her
sister.
They
tell
of
'truly
grand'
isolated
wilderness
and
abundant
wildlife,
of
small
remote
townships
of
her
encounters
with
rattlesnakes,
wolves
and
grizzly
bears
and
her
reactions
to
the
volatile
passions
of
the
miners
and
pioneer settlers.
