My First Summer in the Sierra

Received on time and product was as expected. Great read!!

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.

You won't be able to put it down

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.

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.

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.

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.

This has been printed by Amazon Australia.. The print is so small and the text completely squashed together...very difficult to read.

Beuno leer

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.

We really like this book. Very well written.

注文時は、入手時期は、未定でしたのに、こんなに、早く手元にとどいて、さすが、amazonさんだと、感謝しております。 研究に、どうしても、ミューアの原書と読み比べてみたかったので、たすかります。
