Dive into a captivating collection of John Muirs previously unpublished essays, released shortly after his passing. This volume is sure to fulfill the high expectations of Muir’s devoted readers.

Muirs reflections on the abandoned towns of Nevada and the Native Americans harvesting pine nuts evoke a vanishing chapter of Western life that remains largely uncharted in American literature. The breathtaking landscapes Muir encountered now exist mainly through his eloquent words, as fire, axe, plough, and gunpowder have irrevocably altered the once seemingly endless wilderness and its vibrant ecosystems.Copyright Biographies 2.0 Art Social Sciences
