Review:

"One cannot overemphasize these Yosemite years. The book’s contribution is not so much the unfolding of Muir the geologist, botanist, poet, theologian, ecologist, and humanitarian, but the highlighting of the emerging land ethic of our country’s most important conservationist."—Wisconsin Academy Review

"The book...is a must for all readers interested in the life and times of John Muir."— Richard F. Fleck, Community College of Denver

"Many will welcome the chance to have these valuable primary documents collected in one easily accessible source."
—New Mexico Historical Review 

"This beautifully edited work...is a fine contribution to Western American history about a man who helped form the Sierra Club."
—Journal of the West
