Seventy years ago a five year old boy Pilgrim stumbled from his attic bedroom to greet a new day. He was a sick little boy diagnosed with “double pneumonia”: a steamer beside his bed. He’d spent the night in a desperate struggle to draw each breath. His grandfather almost died in the flu epidemic of 1917. A nurse saved him: calling for oxygen as she noted a blue pallor that marks the last stages of a dying man. After passing “that hump”: his grandfather lived on, then courted that nurse and married her!

When the secret police came for his father in 1938, 10-year-old Anatole Konstantin saw his family plunged into a morass of fear.

In The Story of My Boyhood and Youth, John Muir takes listeners on a journey through his early years, from his childhood in Scotland to his formative days in the United States. This memoir reflects on the wonders of nature that sparked Muir’s deep love for the outdoors. With vivid descriptions, he shares the experiences and adventures that shaped his passion for wild landscapes and his future as a naturalist.

John Muir has left a mark on history in a way that is quite unique. There are very few people whose powerful love for nature has caused such a truly lasting impact as his. While his early childhood was largely what one would consider normal in Scotland, a life changing event while working in a factory, which nearly blinded him, caused John to totally change the direction of his life. He suddenly found great beauty in every moment, and especially nature and the outdoors.
