About this listen

John Muir (1838-1914), also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was a naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, and an early advocate for the preservation of wilderness areas in the United States. Upon visiting the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Muir was so enchanted by what he saw that he decided to devote his life to the preservation of this majestic wilderness. My First Summer in the Sierra is based on a diary he kept while tending sheep in Yosemite country and is filled with the author’s awe for the “divine, enduring, unwasteable wealth” of the natural world. It remains a classic of environmental literature and continues to inspire people.
