In the summer of 1869, young and fresh, Muir traveled through the Sierra Nevada with a shepherd and his flock. This book is his journal, and it, too, is young and fresh. Muir, who would become a legendary advocate for wilderness and the founder of the Sierra Club, always played down the dangers he faced. But this book is full, nevertheless, of bears. And charm.

約翰·繆爾|John Muir

（一八三八~ 一九一四）

作為美國早期環(huán)保運動領袖，繆爾關于大自然探險的隨筆與專著多年以來廣為流傳。他幫助保護了約塞米蒂山谷等荒原，并創(chuàng)建了美國最重要的環(huán)保組織山嶺環(huán)保俱樂部（The Sierra Club）。在他的影響下，羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)于其任期內(nèi)批準創(chuàng)建了五十三個野生動物保護區(qū)、十六個國家紀念保護區(qū)和六個國家公園，繆爾也因此被譽為“美國國家公園之父”。
