Descriere John Muir

John Muir's beloved adventure in the Sierra reissued to entertain, encourage, and inspire contemporary naturalists. \n \n \n \n Considered one of the patron saints of twentieth-century environmental activity, John Muir's appeal to modern readers is that he not only explored the American West but also fought for its preservation.
