John Muir in Yosemite
by Shirley Sargent
Foreword by John
Muir's Granddaughter
Yosemite gave
Muir purpose and goals that changed his life and that of the nation. This book
presents his early years in Yosemite and his struggles to preserve the wilderness.
"To students of
Muir, John Muir and Yosemite are synonymous. To Shirley Sargent, historian, long time
resident and authority on Yosemite, telling the story of Muir and his love affair with the
Valley was a must.
"She has
related the story of John Muir's residency, his work, studies, accomplishments, and
struggles which were the prelude to his life's work in geology, conservation, and the
establishment of National Parks, with freshness and enthusiasm. She dispels some old
legends with accurate research and has documented for all time the true facts concerning
one of America's outstanding preservationists." (Jean Hanna Clark, granddaughter of John
Muir.)
