The discovery of Glacier Bay -- The Alaska trip -- Twenty Hill Hollow -- Snow -- A near view of the High Sierra -- Among the animals of Yosemite -- The Yellowstone National Park -- A great storm in Utah -- Wild wool -- The forests of Oregon.
Part of John Muir's appeal to modern readers is that he not only explored the American West and wrote about its beauties but also fought for their preservation. His successes dot the landscape and are evident in all the natural features that bear his name: forests, lakes, trails, and glaciers. Here collected are some of Muir's finest wilderness essays, ranging in subject matter from Alaska to Yellowstone, from Oregon to the High Sierra.
