<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: The Century Co., 1912.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the spring of 1869, John Muir was looking for means of support to fund his explorations of California's Central Valley region. A ranch owner offered him a job herding sheep in the Sierra Nevada. As he explored the region, he jotted down his keen observations of the scenic countryside, and he eventually became a guide for some of Yosemite's most famous visitors, including Ralph Waldo Emerson. Muir documented these experiences in <b>The Yosemite</b>, first published in 1912. It is at once a vivid, accurate description of the land and a passionate homage to nature. <p/>This Modern Library Paperback Classic is a facsimile of the 1912 edition and includes the original illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Not only is [Muir] the author to whom all men turn when they think of the Sierras and Northern glaciers . . . but he was also . . . a man able to influence contemporary thought and action on the subjects to which he had devoted his life." --Theodore Roosevelt<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Gretel Ehrlich</b>, a native Californian, is the author of the award-winning <i>The Solace of Open Spaces</i>, as well as <i>John Muir: Nature's Visionary</i> and <i>This Cold Heaven: Seven Seasons in Greenland</i>, among other books and essays.
