Sinopse
Discovering the Beauty and Fragility of the Natural World: A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf
Written by John Muir, one of America’s greatest naturalists, the book captures his deep appreciation for nature as he explores the American South. In this special edition, you can also learn about:
- John Muir's Early Life
- His Contribution to Conservation
- Muir's Enduring Legacy
“A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf” is a diary of his 1,000-mile journey on foot from Indiana to the Gulf of Mexico. Setting out to explore the untamed landscapes of the South, he passes through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida, right after the Civil War, masterfully documenting the diverse plants, animals, and scenery he encounters, and life in the mid-1800s.
Throughout the journey, Muir sleeps under the stars, faces harsh weather, and meets all kinds of people along the way. He describes the beauty of forests, rivers, and swamps, as well as the struggles of the poor communities he comes across. Muir’s writings show his awe of nature and his concern for how humans are damaging it. This adventure helped shape his ideas about protecting the environment, which he later became famous for as a leading figure in the conservation movement.
