A Sierra journal from John Muir’s first summer in Yosemite

Drawn from John Muir’s journal of 1869, this account records a formative journey into Yosemite and the Sierra high country. Traveling alongside a flock of sheep and its shepherd, Muir documents the season through close attention to mountain landscapes, wildlife, and plant life, while also tracing his own explorations of the region. The book’s diary-based structure keeps the focus on daily observation and firsthand encounter, offering a nineteenth-century nature chronicle rooted in the Sierra’s summer pastures.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Yosemite, the Sierra Nevada, and the American West
