Harriet Fish Backus

One Woman’s Personal Account of Life in the Mining Camps of the West

BackusThe 50th Anniversary Edition of a Colorado favorite, Tomboy Bride

presents a fi rst-hand account of a young pioneer woman and her life in a rough and tumble mining town of the Old West.

In 1906 at the age of twenty, Harriet Fish hopped on a train from Oakland, California, to the San Juan Mountains of Colorado in search of a new life as the bride of assayer George Backus. Together,

the couple ventured forth to discover mining town life at the turn of the twentieth century, adjusting to dizzying elevation heights of 11,500 feet and all the hardships that come with it: limited water, rationed food supplies, lack of medical care, diffi culty in travel, avalanches, and many more. As she and George move from Telluride’s Tomboy Mine to the rugged coast of British Columbia, to the town of Elk City, Idaho, and then back to Colorado’s Leadville, Harriet paints a poignant picture of a world centered around mining, sharing amusing and often challenging experiences as a woman of the era.

Including a new foreword by Colorado’s award-winning writer Pam Houston, as well as previously unpublished photographs documenting Harriet’s journey, Tomboy Bride endures as a classic of the region to this day as it captures in heartfelt emotion and vivid detail the personal story of Harriet Backus, a true pioneer of the West.
