About this ebook
Muir looks back over his many years of visits to the Yosemite valley and his efforts to protect the pristine wilderness area, which resulted in the creation of the Yosemite National Park in 1890. In addition to personal reminiscences, the book contains Muir's meticulously observed yet rapturously poetic descriptions of local flora and fauna.
