My First Summer in the Sierra is perhaps the most lyrical, joyous, and engaging of all John Muir’s many works. In the summer of 1869 Muir took work as a sheepherder in order to explore the headwaters of the Merced and Tuolomne Rivers. Keeping notes in the form of a diary, Muir describes his fellow companions—human and otherwise—with exquisite compassion, interest, awe, and even humor. This Warbler Classics includes all of the sketches by Muir that appeared in the first edition of the book and a detailed biographical note.
