Abstract

Famed naturalist and writer John Muir took many calculated risks in order to observe nature – from setting out on a glacier with a dog in a snowstorm to chasing a forest fire. Wurtz shares some of these adventures as illustrated with Muir’s drawings, letters, and journals from Pacific, and examine how Muir used his masterful observational skills to study, promote, and protect “anywhere that is wild.”
