delphia2ohohohI've started downloading this lady's books after reading one about Tibet that blew me away. Isabella Bird was a Victoria age travel book author from England with incredible stamina and a way with words. I'd like to rec this one in particular for those of you who love cowboys like I do. It's about her travels in Colorado in 1875. (She was in her 40's at this time, btw.)

Her story about meeting Rocky Mountain Jim made me think of Chris or Vin from the Magnificent 7 television series and how they might have ended. Vin in particular, since she mentions he writes poetry and has long curly hair.
I'm reading about her travels in Japan now.
BTW, the web site for Project Gutenberg is a great place to find books to read on your computers, laptops or palm pilot/ebook readers.

Just call me the ebook pimp. ;o)
