Description
This collection of John Muir's selected writings chronicles his journey as America's first naturalist and founder of the modern conservation movement. Spanning key turning points in his life, these works showcase Muir's childhood fascination with nature and his later journeys into stunning mountain ranges.
From his account of growing up on a Wisconsin farm to his travels in California's mountains and Alaska's valleys, Muir's writings reveal a meticulous thoroughness and an impassioned lyricism. These four full-length works, along with important essays, helped galvanize American naturalists and led to the founding of the Sierra Club and several national parks.
Through these pages, witness Muir's awakening to the incredible beauty of our planet and his honed eye turned towards both science and spirituality. A testament to his enduring legacy, this volume is an AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY ORIGINAL.
