Publisher Description
My First Summer in the Sierra by John Muir is a collection of thoughts from naturalist Muir on his journey to the Sierra Nevada. Working as a shepherd, Muir brings to life the beauty of the region with descriptions of the mountains, vegetation, and animals he encounters.
My First Summer in the Sierra is a classic work in travel, adventure, and conservation much like Muir’s Travels in Alaska, The Yosemite, and A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Shortly after the end of the Civil War, Muir made his first trip to the Sierra Nevadas, working as a shepherd and documenting the experience in his diary. This audio version, released for the 100th anniversary of the classic travelogue's publication, features a solid but unmemorable reading by Brett Barry. Although his narration is plainspoken, calm, and well paced, Barry who at times mispronounces words or speaks haltingly fails to convincingly convey Muir's familiarity with the natural life he studied during his famous trek across the mountains.
