Description: Gathered from John Muir's own writings, this fascinating compilation recounts his historic, first walk from the San Francisco bay to Yosemite.
Review Quotes: LIBRARY JOURNAL, February 15, 2018: The authors have reimagined the narrative as an ebullient letter penned to inspire Muir's friends to experience the wonders of California in person. This slim volume sparkles with Muir's poetic descriptions of the ecology, flora, and fauna of the Yosemite Valley, while [Emily Brown's] cut-paper illustrations lend a graceful and classic quality. VERDICT Essential reading for Muir devotees and those interested in the natural history of the Yosemite region.--KELSY PETERSON, FOREST HILL COLL., MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
