In April 1868, a very young John Muir stepped off a boat in San Francisco and inquired about the quickest way out of town. But where do you want to go? was the response, to which Muir replied, Anywhere that is wild. Using Muirs personal correspondence and published articles, Peter and Donna Thomas have reconstructed the real story of Muirs literal ramblings over California hills and through dales, with lofty Sierra Nevada peaks, Englishmen, and bears mixed in for good measure. The trip is illustrated by charming cut-paper illustrations that take their inspiration from Muir's love of nature. John Muirs story-telling is so compelling that even 150 years later, seeing the world through his eyes makes us want to head out into the wild. 600 10 $a Muir, John, $d 1838-1914 $x Travel $z California. 600 10 $a Muir, John, $d 1838-1914 $x Travel $z Yosemite Valley. $z Yosemite Valley. 651 0 $a California $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Yosemite Valley (Calif.) $x Description and travel. 650 0 $a Natural history $z California. 650 0 $a Natural history $z Yosemite Valley. $z Yosemite Valley. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 700 1 $a Thomas, Peter $q (Peter R.) $e editor. 700 1 $a Thomas, Donna $q (Donna Sue) $e editor. 710 2 $a Yosemite Conservancy (Organization) $e issuing body. 941 $a 5 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909050358.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061628.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20190808010308.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20181026010341.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=285751AA8BE611E8B24E8D0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IO4Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
