Engaging, personal letters written by Mary-Russell Ferrell to her mother between 1909 and 1919 show a growing awareness of her love and need for the outdoors. A professional artist in Philadelphia, Mary-Russell wrote ''. cities cannot hold me.'' after expeditions into the British Columbia wilderness in 1909 and again in 1910. She began to create a life that included plenty of time outdoors. She found a partner who shared her love for exploring new paths in zoologist Dr. Harold S. Colton. They married in 1912 and settled near Philadelphia and spend summers exploring either the American Southwest or Maine. These letters tell of travels in British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, California, their period of courtship, and their southwestern experiences and eventual move to Flagstaff, Arizona in 1926 where they became involved in efforts to expand an existing museum into today's Museum of Northern Arizona.
