In the summer of 1869, young and fresh, Muir traveled through the Sierra Nevada with a shepherd and his flock. This book is his journal, and it, too, is young and fresh.

约翰·缪尔|John Muir

（一八三八~ 一九一四）

作为美国早期环保运动领袖，缪尔关于大自然探险的随笔与专著多年以来广为流传。他帮助保护了约塞米蒂山谷等荒原，并创建了美国最重要的环保组织山岭环保俱乐部（The Sierra Club）。在他的影响下，罗斯福总统于其任期内批准创建了五十三个野生动物保护区、十六个国家纪念保护区和六个国家公园，缪尔也因此被誉为“美国国家公园之父”。
