Anywhere That Is Wild: John Muir's First Walk to Yosemite

John Muir wrote many wonderful books about his travels, but one storyâ€”about his long walk from San Francisco to Yosemiteâ€”is one book he did not author himself. In April 1868, a very young John Muir stepped off a boat in San Francisco and inquired about the quickest way out of town. â€œBut where do you want to go?â€ was the response, to which Muir replied, â€œAnywhere that is wild.â€ Using Muirâ€™s personal correspondence and published articles, Peter and Donna Thomas have reconstructed the real story of Muirâ€™s 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 Muirâ€™s 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.
