The Yosemite by John Muir
In the spring of 1869, John Muir was looking for means of support to fund his explorations of California's Central Valley region. A ranch owner offered him a job herding sheep in the Sierra Nevada. As he explored the region, he jotted down his keen observations of the scenic countryside, and he eventually became a guide for some of Yosemite's most famous visitors, including Ralph Waldo Emerson. Muir documented these experiences in The Yosemite, first published in 1912. It is at once a vivid, accurate description of the land and a passionate homage to nature. This Modern Library Paperback Classic is a facsimile of the 1912 edition and includes the original illustrations.John Kenneth Muir has written over 20 reference books on science fiction and horror in film and television. His popular blog is reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.blogspot.com, and he is the creator of the Internet sci-fi series The House Between (www.thehousebetween.com).
