Description
Around the turn of the twentieth century, Harriet Fish at the age of twenty hopped on a train in Oakland and headed to Denver to begin a new life with her fiancee George Backus. After the young couple was married, they excitedly began their new lives together. Their first journey took them about the town of Telluride near the Tomboy Mines at 11,800 feet where they made their first home. Harriet Fish Backus writes about her life as an assayer's wife and true pioneer of the West with heart felt emotion and vivid detail. Share her amusing and often challenging experiences in the high San Juan Mountains; on the coast of northern British Columbia; in the heart of Idaho; and in Leadville, Colorado, the city in the clouds.
