| Product Description |
| During John Muir’s extraordinary life as a conservationist, he traveled most of the American wilderness alone and on foot with only a sackful of stale bread and tea. Major credit is ascribed to him for saving the Grand Canyon and Arizona’s Petrified Forest. In 1903, while on a three-day camping trip with the president, he convinced Theodore Roosevelt of the importance of a national conservation program. Collected here is the best of Muir’s writing, selected from all of his major work including selections from My First Summer in the Sierra and Travels in Alaska. |
