About This Item
Washington, D. C.: Island Press, 2001. Hardcover. New/New.
No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality. First Edition, First Printing.
From the Pioneers of Conservation Series. Though best known for his conservation efforts in California and his creation of the Sierra Club, Muir considered his final journey the most rewarding, writing while in Africa in 1912 that "on this pair of wild hot continents I've enjoyed the most fruitful year of my life."
These letters and journal entries further prove that his interests as a naturalist and conservationist extended to the entire world; he calls a section of the Amazon the "most interesting forest I have seen in my whole life" and refers to an experience with rare baobab trees in Africa as 'one of the greatest of the great tree days of my lucky life.'
