This 1915 masterpiece of nature writing was based on Muir’s personal experiences on long expeditions into the Alaskan wilderness beginning in 1879. For Muir, encounters with nature were sacred, and his prose combines the meticulous observation of a scientist with the spiritual insights of a holy man—one who worshipped at the altar of the natural world.
