Description

John Muir wrote many wonderful books about his travels, but one story―about his long walk from San Francisco to Yosemite―is one book he did not creator himself. In April 1868, a very young John Muir stepped off a boat in San Francisco and inquired concerning the quickest way out of town. “But where do you wish to have to move?” used to be the response, to which Muir replied, “Anywhere that may be wild.” The usage of Muir’s personal correspondence and published articles, Peter and Donna Thomas have reconstructed the actual story of Muir’s literal ramblings over California hills and through dales, with lofty Sierra Nevada peaks, Englishmen, and bears mixed in for good measure. The shuttle is illustrated by charming cut-paper illustrations that take their inspiration from Muir’s love of nature. John Muir’s story-telling is so compelling that even 150 years later, seeing the world through his eyes makes us need to head out into the wild.
