They begin when Muir, as a young man, came to know California for the first time. These Journals reveal the very soul of John Muir, mystic, poet, scientist. His humor, his power of description, his philosophy, the romance of his far wanderings, all come out in these pages, written with joy and spontaneiry for himself and his intimate friends. - dustjacket flap. Sections cover Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada, the Alsaka Harriman expedition, Arizona notes, Robert Burns, Mount Rainier and more. (Kimes 379).
