My First Summer in Sierra
My First Summer in Sierra | John Muir
3 posts | 8 read | 9 to read
Following the American Civil War in the summer of 1869, John Muir signed on with a crew of shepherds to drive a flock of 2500 sheep to Yosemite National Park at the headwaters of the Merced river. It wasn't until 1911, however, that he published "My First Summer in Sierra," an account of that experience which would inspire many to visit the Yosemite region and has become a classic of environmentalist literature.

My nature devotional - Muir‘s writing is so detailed I can see the trees, the birds, the mountains., the flowers, the bears.
P. 137 “Wherever we go in the mountains, or indeed in any of God‘s wild, we find more than we seek.”
