Travels in Alaska
|
|
 |
Title Description John Muir came to Alaska in 1879, twelve years after the territory had been purchased by the United States, and revisited it four times before writing this book. Muir's ability to set down his sensory impressions is little short of amazing. With a clear eye and a burning mind, he recorded all he could perceive about the glaciers, the hardy plants, the northern lights, and the Arctic stars. He was responsible for the discovery of Glacier Bay and the John Muir Glacier, the largest Alaskan tidal glacier. He let himself in for many dangerous scrapes, but he was not a thrill seeker; rather, in this book, Muir is suffused throughout with a joy of discovery, and a pleasure in the wilderness so intense that little else matters.
