    Great read

    I wished I read this book BEFORE my travels to Colorado. I have been to Telluride, Ouray, and Leadville. I would have hiked to see the original Tomboy mine and marvel how anyone would have been able to live in these mining towns 100 years ago!

    Tomboy Bride - an amazing life story.

    Nice book. Good condition. Son living in CO near this mine recommended I read it. I truly admire those that lived with such hardships and cold and not much else. A bit slow in places, but amazing lives these early pioneers led. God bless them.

    WONDERFUL Historical Novel.

    High mountain mine camps, authentic stories from a woman's point of view, 1908-1922 era. "Tomboy" is the name of one of the mines. Rugged and no nonsense

    Could hardly put it down!

    I really enjoyed this book, a journal of a young woman who married and moved to mining towns with her husband in very primitive surroundings in the earth 1900’s.
