John Muir
It was June of 1869 when John Muir reluctantly accepted a job herding sheep from the central valley of California to the headwaters of the Merced and Tuolumne Rivers, high into the Sierra Nevadas and deep into the Yosemite region. He felt ill equipped for the work, and yet the opportunity thrilled his adventurous spirit. With a notebook tied to his belt, he set out for a summer he would never forget.
My First Summer in the Sierra is Muir’s classic account of that extraordinary journey. It was not published until 1911, by which time he had become well known for his work as a naturalist and conservationist. One hundred years later, we can still experience Muir’s transcendent joy, as he climbed the mountains, explored the lakes and streams, and studied the region’s flowers and trees. His words have since beckoned countless travelers to Yosemite National Park.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, John Muir's writing is so beautiful, however they could have picked someone better to read the audio book. He sounded a lot like a computer reading the book.How could the performance have been better?
He sounded like a computer/robot reading the book. A little more animation or passion in reading the beautiful words in this book would have been nice and easier to enjoy.Beautifully written book.

I am glad I read/listened to this book!
John Muir is famous for being a naturalist and conservationist. I have read several books either about him or which included him. This is the first I have read which he wrote himself.
I would suggest the audiobook narrated by Mr. Barry. He did a wonderful job of bringing Mr. Muir to life. I could imagine myself sitting around a campfire with him telling the story excitedly, his love of nature evident and contagious.
As to the narrative itself, Muir’s extensive expertise and knowledge of plants, animals and geology is fascinating.
Now I will have to look for anything else by John Muir.
