My First Summer in the Sierra (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Published in 1911, this book is derived from John Muir’s journal account of his experiences while herding 2,500 sheep into the High Sierra meadows in the summer of 1869. Muir records his daily activities, discoveries of plants and wildlife, and his eloquent musings on what he calls the “holy wilderness.” Written in a heartfelt, moving style, My First Summer in the Sierra is a classic of environmental literature.
