This is not strictly a biography, as it lets the reader know much more than this famous naturalist's history. The author not only writes about Muir's life and exploits, but follows in his footsteps, climbing the same peaks, walking the same trails, even kayaking down some of the rivers that Muir wrote of. It makes this a more personal and highly enjoyable read. And the many photographs just enhance the experience. Highly recommended. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

And, how wonderful and inspiring it was that author Tom Melham chose to retrace John Muir's journey
from Scotland at age eleven to Wisconsin,
followed by his departure from the University of Wisconsin to become a "wild mountain man!"
The accompanying photographs form an incredible documentary.
