John Muir: A Miscellany

John Muir's stature as a visionary leader was already on the rise on New Year's Day, 1898, when the above passage first appeared in print.  Muir's reverence for nature and uncompromising integrity would ultimately play a vital role in awakening the American public to the need to rein in rampant industrial development before it was too late.

John Muir was happiest heading off into the wild with a loaf of bread, a bag of tea, a journal and sketchbook, and a head full of dreams. John Muir, A Miscellany is a gathering together of a rich and hugely entertaining collection of Muir's writings.
