PRAISE FOR Tomboy Bride

“It’s hard to describe just how much of a legacy Harriet Backus left with Tomboy Bride and her vivid and descriptive memories of Telluride and the surrounding region… a great read that does much to explain the unique character of Telluride.” —Kiernan Lannon, Executive Director, Telluride Historical Museum, An Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution

“#1 on the annual bestseller list at our store for over a decade. An amazing story.” —Daiva Chesonis, Co-owner, Between the Covers Bookstore, Telluride, CO

“In her book Tomboy Bride, we experience her delight when she first inspected her 6-room ‘palace,’ with electricity and running water. She not only entertains, but also provides useful and keenly preserved details about the well-equipped company store; the segregated housing for the Chinese, Japanese and the white crews; and the crusher house and mill.”

—The Northern Miner

“… an interesting book that records the hardships, tragedies and triumphs of a young woman in the colorful era of the mining boom.”

—Annals of Wyoming

“… Charming book … entertaining and informative.”

—The New Mexican
