Beschreibungen
This antiquarian volume contains John Muir's 1911 travel book, "e;My First Summer in the Sierra"e;. 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: "e;Through the Foothills with a Flock of Sheep"e;, "e;In Camp on the North Fork of the Merced"e;, "e;A Bread Famine"e;, "e;To the High Mountains"e;, "e;The Yosemite"e;, "e;Mount Hoffman and Lake Tenaya"e;, "e;A Strange Experience"e;, "e;The Mono Trail"e;, 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.
