My First Summer in the Sierra (Dover Books on Americana)

No complaints. Fascinating to read his thoughts as always!

As always Amazon is on time. Haven’t read it all but John Muir loves nature and the simple life I think

I read most of this book on my kindle during overnight camping for a week backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail. It was great to see John Muir's attention to detail to things that I was experiencing and his observations that are still valid close to a century later. I was not disappointed. It is a good read.

I have always wanted to read Muir. This style of writing is not for everyone - Muir goes to great lengths to use his senses to describe everything he encounters. I found those descriptions enlightening, detailed, and exhilarating. Some might find it monotonous, and I would understand that.

I first read this book in the '60s after I had already visited Yosemite. This new edition is a very nice piece of work, and it is really a great introduction to John Muir. For one who has traveled extensively in Yosemite territory it is a pleasure to see that country through Muir's eyes 100 or more years earlier.

This is one of the best books I have ever read--and I've read a lot. Muir writes about nature on such an elevated, inspired and inspiring level, it transports the reader if the reader allows herself to sink into the text. Deeply religious without being associated with any religious doctrine. Truly a masterpiece in literature. I haven't read the book in some time; I buy it these days to give as a gift.

Bought this for my newly retired dad who finally has time to read now. HeLoves the outdoors and they visit national parks on the regular. He’s about half way through and loves the story.

John Muir is a personal hero of mine. What he's done for hikers and climbers is to great to put into words. However, this book is dull and hard to follow. Thanks for everything you did John and you are very poetic, but your stories can be hard to follow.

Etwas langweilig, hatte mehr erwartet. Andre Bücher von Muir werd ich wohl eher nicht lesen.

John Muir is a legend when it comes to writing on nature and wilderness. Literature that flows like poetry.

Beuno leer

Per quel prezzo il libro va bene Unico neo le immagini e le riproduzioni sono piccole spesso molto poco nitide e minute

If you are interested in John Muir then this is a fascinating account of his first foray into the wilderness. The only disappointing thing is that the book has not been properly proof-read for the Kindle Edition and some words run into each other. Surprising in this day and age of spellcheck.
