The most popular of John Muir’s works, this volume is an account of his first visit to the High Sierra and the Yosemite. Based on his journal entries for 1869, the text has an immediacy and spontaneity that bring alive the voice and emotions of the young Muir as he relates his humorous, rough-and-tumble adventures as a California shepherd.
