Description
1901 John Muir Mountains of California Rocky Mountains Sequoia Canyons Sierra



John Muir, also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks”, was an influential Scottish-American naturalist, environmental philosopher, and an early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States. One of the heroes of America's conservation movement, Muir deserves much of the credit for making the Yosemite Valley a protected national park and for alerting Americans to the need to protect this and other natural wonders. ‘The Mountains of California,’ first published in 1894 was Muir’s first book. It is his tribute to the beauties of the Sierras. He recounts not only his own journeys by foot through the mountains, glaciers, forests, and valleys, but also the geological and natural history of the region, ranging from the history of glaciers, the patterns of tree growth, and the daily life of animals and insects.



This 1901 edition ‘Mountains of California’ naturally focuses on Yosemite, while Muir also expounds on lesser well-known beauty spots including:

Kings Canyon

Sequoia groves

Mount Whitney

Mount Shasta

Mount St. Helens

And more!
