A Visit With the Tomboy Bride: Harriet Backus & Her Friends

Harriet Backus wrote to Duane Smith, well-known Colorado historian, after he reviewed her book in 1970, starting a correspondence that continued until her death. The result was a further look into Harriet's life and those of some of her friends at the Tomboy Mine. The book is not meant to replace Tomboy Bride, but to supplement what she wrote.

In addition to the letters they shared, the book includes additional photographs taken by or of Harriet during her time at Tomboy Basin.
