Description

Describing his spiritual awakening amid the mountains and valleys of
central California, John Muir's My First Summer in the Sierra
is, like Walden, one of the seminal texts in the literature of
the American environment. It is presented here with an introduction by
writer and activist Bill McKibben and related essays about Yosemite,
the Hetch Hetchy Valley, and other wonders of the Sierra Nevada.

John Muir (1838-1914) was born in Scotland. In 1849 he emigrated with his family to the United States, where he later enrolled in courses in chemistry, geology, and botany at the University of Wisconsin. Muir made extended journeys throughout America, observing both scientifically and enthusiastically the beauties of the wilderness. The Mountains of California, his first book, was published in 1894. He eventually settled in California, where he became an impassioned leader of the forest conservation movement. His writings include Our National Parks (1901), My First Summer in the Sierra (1911), The Yosemite (1912), Travels in Alaska (1915), A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf (1916), and Steep Trails (1918).
Bill McKibben is the author of The End of Nature, and The Age of Missing Information. He is a frequent contributor to such publications as Outside, The New York Times, and The New York Review of Books, and a former staff writer at the New Yorker.
