Travels in Alaska

Travels in Alaska was published in 1915. Another fantastic book by John Muir. He describes several trips to Alaska, primarily to witness firsthand the glacial erosion that formed his beloved Yosemite and much of the Sierras, where he spent most of his time. He went to Alaska with Mr. Young, a missionary who wanted to share the gospel with the local savages, Indians, or indigenous people. This leads to some fascinating insights into the lives of missionaries and natives; Muir's firsthand accounts of cross-cultural encounters are a pleasure to read and provide insights.. • This book is annotated; it includes a detailed biography of the author, and original classic illustrations. • The editor has added an active Table of Contents for a better customer experience. • All written words remain as they were written by the author, unedited. • Expands formatting options by giving complete control over fonts, font sizes, and line spacing.
