Beschreibung
Travels in Alaska chronicles John Muir's adventures in that astonishing and majestic landscape. Muir first journeyed to Alaska in 1879, a mere twelve years after it became American territory. Over subsequent years he returned many more times, drawn to its rivers, glaciers, sunsets, and northern lights. In lyrical and eloquent prose Muir documented his expeditions to Alexander Archipelago, Wrangell Island, the Stickeen River, and various glaciers. He recounts his awe at the aurora borealis and his experiences amongst native communities. His portrayal of Alaska's magnificence stands as a tribute to that unique place and mirrors his reverence for the Sierras. This Warbler Classics edition includes photographic plates from the book's original 1915 release and a detailed biographical note.

Über den Autor
John Muir (1838-1914) was a Scottish-born American naturalist, writer, and advocate of US forest conservation. As early as 1876 Muir urged the federal government to adopt a forest conservation policy. In 1890, due in large part to Muir's efforts, an act of Congress created Yosemite National Park. In 1892 Muir and a number of his supporters founded the Sierra Club, an organization devoted to protecting the environment. Muir was instrumental in establishing Sequoia National Park, the Petrified Forest, Muir Woods National Monument, and Grand Canyon National Park. John Muir died in 1914, at the age of seventy-six. His writings continue to serve as sources of inspiration for naturalists and conservationists the world over and remain important works in the body of literature on America's natural history.
