This antiquarian volume contains John Muirâs 1911 travel book, \"My First Summer in the Sierra\". After the American Civil War, John Muir assembled a group of shepherds to drive a large flock of sheep to Yosemite National Park. In 1911 he published this account of the experience, which would encourage many people to visit the Yosemite region and become a seminal piece of environmentalist literature. The contents include: âThrough the Foothills with a Flock of Sheepâ, âIn Camp on the North Fork of the Mercedâ, âA Bread Famineâ, âTo the High Mountainsâ, âThe Yosemiteâ, âMount Hoffman and Lake Tenayaâ, âA Strange Experienceâ, âThe Mono Trailâ, etcetera. John Muir (1838 - 1914), was a Scottish-American writer, naturalist, and pioneering advocate of American wilderness preservation. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |
