John Muir’s ordinary vision of The us comes to life in these fascinating selections from his personal journals.

 

As a conservationist, John Muir traveled through a few of the American wilderness on my own and on foot, without a gun or a sleeping bag. In 1903, whilst on a three-day camping go back and forth with President Theodore Roosevelt, he convinced the president of the importance of a national conservation program, and he’s widely recognized for saving the Grand Canyon and Arizona’s Petrified Forest. Muir’s writing, in response to journals he kept all the way through his life, gives our generation a picture of an The us still wild and unsettled only one hundred years ago. In The Wildernesss World of John Muir Edwin Way Teale has selected the most efficient of Muir’s writing from all of his major works—including My First Summer in the Sierra and Travels in Alaska—to provide a singular collection that provides to be “magnificent, thrilling, exciting, breathtaking, and awe-inspiring” (Kirkus Reviews).
