Published in 1911, this book is derived from John Muir’s journal account of his experiences while herding 2, 500 sheep into the High Sierra meadows in the summer of 1869. Muir records his daily activities, discoveries of plants and wildlife, and his eloquent musings on what he calls the “holy wilderness.” Written in a heartfelt, moving style, My First Summer in the Sierra is a classic of environmental literature.

John Muir (1838-1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist and conservationist. He founded the Sierra Club. A fierce advocate of wilderness protection, Muir influenced President Theodore Roosevelt’s national park system and, through his passionate, often unabashedly spiritual writings, helped to shape Americans’ attitudes toward wilderness preservation and land stewardship.
