This volume of John Muir's selected writings chronicles the key
turning points in his life and study of the American wilderness.
The Story of My Boyhood and Youth is Muir's account of his
childhood on a Wisconsin farm, where his interest in nature was
first piqued; in The Mountains of California, The Yosemite, and
Travels in Alaska we follow him on long journeys into stunning
mountain ranges and valleys, where he records native flora and
fauna and finds proof of his theories of the effect of glaciers on
landscape formation. These four full-length works--along with a
selection of important essays also included here--helped galvanize
American naturalists, leading to the founding of the Sierra Club
and several national parks. In these pages, written with meticulous
thoroughness and an impassioned lyricism, we witness Muir's
awakening to the incredible beauty of our planet, and the honing of
an eye turned as acutely toward the scientific as the spiritual.
