Section 13 of Some Famous Women by Louise Creighton This LibriVox recording is in the public domain Recording by Pamela Nagami Chapter 10 Isabella Bird, afterwards Mrs. Bishop Part 1 Isabella Bird, who afterwards became famous as a traveller, was the daughter of a clergyman.

She was born in 1831 and spent her childhood in a country village in Cheshire of which her father was vicar.

She was a frail, delicate child, and as it was good for her to be as much in the open air as possible, her father used to put her on a cushion before him when he rode round his parish.

But all the enjoyment of her success was spoilt to her by the serious illness of her beloved sister, who died the year after Miss Bird's return.

Section 14 of Some Famous Women by Louise Creighton This LibriVox recording is in the public domain Recording by Pamela Nagami Chapter 10 Isabella Bird, afterwards Mrs. Bishop Part 2 Miss Bird was now alone in the world, but she had a devoted friend in Dr. Bishop, who had for some years attended her sister and was with her in her last illness.

He had several times asked Miss Bird to marry him, but she had always said that her heart was given to her sister.

So it is like comprehensive, amazing.

It's such a wonderful tool, but like a book book, This is kind of weird, too, but I'll go back to A Lady's Life in the Rockies by Isabella Bird.

I'll give everyone the warning that it was written in the 1800s, so it's not going to be PC to today's standards.

And it definitely represents the times.
