On their journey across the American West, he and his companions would take in breathtaking vistas in the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, speak with a young John Muir in the Yosemite Valley, stop off in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Brigham Young, and encounter a diversity of communities and cultures that would challenge their Yankee prejudices. Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this group's travels onto the private story of Emerson's final years, as aphasia set in and increasingly robbed him of his words. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a California $x Description and travel. 600 10 $a Emerson, Ralph Waldo, $d 1803-1882 $x Travel $z California. 600 10 $a Emerson, Ralph Waldo, $d 1803-1882 $x Last years. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wilson, Brian C., 1960- $t California days of Ralph Waldo Emerson : $d Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, [2022] $z 9781613769218 $w (DLC) 2021054328 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220902015329.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7863D4A122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
