About Selections from John Muir
Selections from John Muir is a compilation of two of John Muir's most influential books. Here's a short introduction of each one:
A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf chronicles Muir's transformative journey through the American South in 1867. Armed with little more than a journal and a plant press, Muir traveled on foot from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico, immersing himself in the landscapes, flora, and fauna of post-Civil War America. His keen observations capture both the breathtaking beauty and the ecological devastation he encountered, offering early warnings about the consequences of deforestation and human impact on the environment.
My First Summer in the Sierra recounts his time in California's Yosemite Valley during the summer of 1869, an experience that solidified his role as a champion of wilderness preservation. His vivid prose captures the grandeur of the Sierra Nevada and reflects his spiritual reverence for nature, portraying the wilderness as a divine sanctuary. Often considered one of his most celebrated works, this book invites readers to share in Muir's awe and serves as a compelling call to protect the natural world.
