Description
John Muir believed that excessive grazing and logging would result in the destruction of the wilderness, so campaigned to designate the area a protected national park. Muir describes the botanicals of the landscape, his enthusiasm infectious. With a new introduction from Terry Gifford, the message in The Yosemite is more pertinent now than ever.
