Travels in Alaska chronicles John Muir’s adventures in that astonishing and majestic landscape. Muir first journeyed to Alaska in 1879, a mere twelve years after it became American territory. Over subsequent years he returned many more times, drawn to its rivers, glaciers, sunsets, and northern lights. In lyrical and eloquent prose Muir documented his expeditions to Alexander Archipelago, Wrangell Island, the Stickeen River, and various glaciers. He recounts his awe at the aurora borealis and his experiences amongst native communities. His portrayal of Alaska’s magnificence stands as a tribute to that unique place and mirrors his reverence for the Sierras. This Warbler Classics edition includes photographic plates from the book’s original 1915 release and a detailed biographical note.
