In My First Summer in the Sierra, John Muir recounts his transformative journey through California’s Sierra Nevada in the summer of 1869. As a young Scottish-American naturalist, Muir joins a crew of shepherds driving a flock of sheep to the high mountain meadows. Through vivid and poetic descriptions, he captures the breathtaking landscapes, towering sequoias, rushing rivers, and vast granite peaks.

Muir’s keen observations of the flora, fauna, and geology of the region, combined with his deep spiritual connection to nature, reflect his evolving philosophy of wilderness preservation. His journal entries, written with enthusiasm and reverence, reveal his profound love for the Sierra and his growing advocacy for protecting its beauty.

This classic work, filled with wonder and awe, is a cornerstone of American nature writing and played a key role in inspiring the conservation movement and the creation of national parks.
