- John Muir is increasingly recognized as one of the founding fathers of the modern environmental movement. An adventurer, naturalist and writer, he paved the way for America's expansive national park system. This volume celebrates his achievements as one of this country's premier mountaineers. With powerful and lyrical writing, Muir reveals the mountain not simply as a geographical discovery, but as a source of knowledge of the inner man.
