Here is an entertaining collection of John Muir's most exciting adventures, representing some of his finest writing. From the famous avalanche ride off the rim of Yosemite Valley to his night spent weathering a windstorm at the top of a tree to death-defying falls on Alaskan glaciers, the renowned outdoorsman's exploits are related in passages that are by turns exhilarating, unnerving, dizzying, and outrageous.
Los Angeles Times: "The Wild Muir is a highly readable collection of excerpts from the naturalist's longer works, emphasizing Muir's delight in exploring untamed nature, often at the risk of his life." High Country News: "In this delightful little book, John Muir's best death-defying accounts have been collected and introduced by Lee Stetson. Readers will be hard put to pick a favorite quote from the man whose curiosity was only matched by his physical courage."
