This new collection of essays,
John Muir: Family, Friends, and Adventures,
manages to break fresh ground in discussing the great naturalist.
Historic photographs, sketches and excerpts from letters brighten
the sometimes-scholarly essays, which describe Muir’s
adventures in Alaska, South America and Africa, and his
relationships with friends and children, whom he called
“interesting mugginses and as lively as chipmunks.”
