My First Summer In The Sierra

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): John Muir

In the summer of 1869, John Muir set out from California's Central Valley with a flock of sheep and trekked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. His journals describe the summer he spent in what would become Yosemite National Park.

Celebrating the Sierra's lizards and mountain lions, tall trees and waterfalls, fierce thunderstorms and bears, Muir raises an awareness of nature to a spiritual dimension.

John Muir is internationally acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of modern conservation and his vision, passion and integrity continue to inspire readers today - particularly in this, his best-loved book.

About John Muir

John Muir (1838-1914) was born and raised in Dunbar East Lothian. When his family emigrated to Wisconsin in 1849 young John was bought up to hard labour on his father's homestead. A natural inventor he first discovered the joys of walking and writing after an industrial accident nearly blinded him. His journals articles and lectures helped to develop international awareness of the need to preserve and protect the environment and led to the foundation of the General Grant Sequoia and Yosemite national parks in the US as well as important conservation areas in his native East Lothian. John Muir has been honoured ever since as the father of the modern environment movement.
