Welcome to the first installment of Big Blend Radio’s “Lost Angel Travel Adventures with Linda Ballou.” This episode focuses on historic and noteworthy equestrian explorer and travel writer Isabella Lucy Bird. Linda’s historical fiction novel, “Embrace of the Wild” shares the story of raw courage and fierce strength of this plucky English woman’s un-flinching desire to be free. Hear about Isabella and how Linda set out to trace Isabella’s hoof prints through the Front Range where she rode 800-miles solo though the high country in the winter of 1873.
