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.
Timeless, informative and original
I hope this book will inspire future generations to immerse themselves in both enjoying and preserving the
Sierra
Nevada landscape and the environment as a whole. Along with classic literature, I'd like to see books like this also become a part of the required curriculum in high schools because environmental awareness and compassion begin with our youth.
