John Muirs Last Journey

John Muir's travel journals from 1911-12, along with his correspondence, are published for the first time, offering an intimate glimpse into his final great journey at age seventy-three. Embarking alone from Brooklyn, he traveled over 40,000 miles across South America and Africa, exploring diverse landscapes from the Amazon to the Nile. This remarkable voyage, which Muir considered one of the most significant moments of his life, reveals his lifelong passion for discovering the world's rare forests and natural wonders.
