Bird Loyal Books Isabella Bird began travelling while in her early twenties to help alleviate illness that had plagued her since childhood. She was a single woman in her early forties when she made her treck through the Rocky Mountains. A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains details this fascinating account of her travels through a series of letters written to her sister, Henrietta. These letters are filled with beautiful, vivid descriptions of the scenery, the people she encountered, the way of life, and a mountain man named Jim Nugent, that was as rough as they come, but a complete gentleman with Ms. Bird. She has the distinction of being the first woman to become a member of the Royal Geographical Society in 1892. Schatz im Silbersee, Der by Karl May (1842 - 1912) LibriVox In diesem Roman, der Ende der 1860er-Jahre im Wilden Westen spielt, schildert Karl May die Reise einer Gruppe von Trappern, bei Karl May als Westmänner bezeichnet, zu dem in den Rocky Mountains gelegenen Silbersee. Die Handlung setzt an Bord eines Raddampfers auf dem Arkansas ein. Hauptpersonen sind die Westmänner Old Firehand und Tante Droll sowie der Schurke Cornel Brinkley, der wegen seiner Haare auch der „rote Cornel“ genannt wird. „Cornel“ ist eine Verballhornung des militärischen Ranges „Colonel“ (dt. Oberst). Cornel Brinkley ist Anführer einer großen Bande von Tramps, die nicht davor zurückschrecken, Farmen und Züge zu überfallen und auszurauben. - Summary by Wikipedia
