John Muir

John Muir (1838-1914) was born in Scotland. In 1849 he emigrated with his family to the United States, where he later enrolled in courses in chemistry, geology, and botany at the University of Wisconsin. Muir made extended journeys throughout America, observing both scientifically and enthusiastically the beauties of the wilderness. The Mountains of California, his first book, was published in 1894. He eventually settled in California, where he became an impassioned leader of the forest conservation movement. His writings include Our National Parks (1901), My First Summer in the Sierra (1911), The Yosemite (1912), Travels in Alaska (1915), A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf (1916), and Steep Trails (1918).

Samenvatting

My First Summer in the Sierra is the incredible true story of John Muir’s iconic time spent working in the California mountain range of the Sierra Nevada’s. In this republished edition, read about his experience that shaped so much of environmental stewardship today.

In the summer of 1869, a young John Muir joined a crew of shepherds working in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. Spending countless hours working with the group, Muir also worked tirelessly to advocate for the land’s protection. His efforts eventually transpired into the founding of Yosemite Valley as a national park, a landmark event in the history of United States environmentalism. A glimpse into Muir’s private journals, My First Summer in the Sierra is the remarkable retelling of his time there. Full of humorous anecdotes and insightful prose, John Muir personal narrative will likely inspire you to pack up your belongings and head for the mountains.
