John Muir

My First Summer in the Sierra John Muir

My First Summer in the Sierra is an informative diary of the four months John Muir spent as a shepherd in California's Yosemite Valley and the High Sierras. His words, along with his sketches, described in picturesque terms all the flora, fauna, and beautiful sights that are found in the region.

Through his writing, Muir has become one of the most influential naturalists and champions of environmental preservation in America's history, and this book is where that all began. A must read for anyone who loves nature!
