My First Summer in the Sierra

The happiest book ever written about mountains. In 1869 a young John Muir followed a flock of sheep into the high Sierra and fell permanently in love: with the light, the storms, the sequoias, and the wild joy of being alive at altitude. You will discover his journal of that first summer, bursting with wonder on every page, the seed of everything Muir became. American nature writing at its most exuberant. Climb in with the sample.
