Muir kept this journal on his first extended trip to Yosemite in 1869. Here he recorded his impressions of the animal and plant life he encountered in the Sierra.

In the summer of 1869, John Muir made his first long trip to Yosemite. When a friend offered him the chance to accompany his flock of sheep and a shepherd to the high pastures of the Sierra, it was an opportunity Muir could not resist. My First Summer in the Sierra is the journal More...he kept of those summer days, of the wildlife and plant life, and of his explorations into the magical places of the mountains.

John Muir (1838-1914) was one of the most influential conservationists and nature writers in American history. He was instrumental in the creation and passage of the National Parks Act, and founder of the Sierra Club, acting as its president until his death. Muir was a spirit so free that all he did to prepare for an expedition was to throw some tea and bread into an old sack and jump the back fence.
