Travels in Alaska

This classic account of John Muir’s three visits to Alaska—in 1879, 1880, and 1890 —vividly recalls his adventures and discoveries, his sojourns among the native tribes, and his unbounded delight in the untamed Alaskan wilderness. Here also are his harrowing accounts of near death between grinding walls of glacial ice and of rescuing a companion from a thousand-foot precipice.
