简介
""I am now writing up some notes, but when they will be ready for publication I do not know...[I]t will be a long time before anything is arranged in book form." These words, written in June 1912 by John Muir to a friend, proved prophetic. The journals and notes to which the great naturalist was referring have languished, unpublished and virtually untouched, for nearly a century. Until now. Here published for the first time, these travel journals, along with Muir's associated correspondence, finally allow us to read in his own words the remarkable story of John Muir's last great journey. What emerges from that story is likely to change the way this crucial figure of American conservation history is viewed."--BOOK JACKET.
