Book excerpt: In the late 1800s, John Muir made several trips to the pristine, relatively unexplored territory of Alaska, irresistibly drawn to its awe-inspiring glaciers and its wild menagerie of bears, bald eagles, wolves, and whales. Half-poet and half-geologist, he recorded his experiences and reflections in "Travels in Alaska," a work he was in the process of completing at the time of his death in 1914. As Edward Hoagland writes in his Introduction, "A century and a quarter later, we are reading ÝMuir's ̈ account because there in the glorious fiords . . . he is at our elbow, nudging us along, prompting us to understand that heaven is on earth--is the Earth--and rapture is the sensible response wherever a clear line of sight remains." This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes photographs from the original 1915 edition.

Book excerpt: Travels in Alaska In the late 1800s, John Muir produced several trips to the pristine, fairly unexplored territory of Alaska, irresistibly drawn to its awe-inspiring glaciers and its wild menagerie of bears, bald eagles, wolves, and whales. Half-poet and half-geologist, he documented his encounters and reflections in Travels in Alaska, a function he has been in the procedure of finishing at the period of his dying in 1914. As Edward Hoagland writes in his Intro, "A hundred years and a quarter later on, we are reading through [Muir's] accounts because there in the glorious fiords . . . he will be at our elbow, nudging us along, prompting us to understand that heaven will be on earth-may be the Earth-and rapture will be the sensible reaction wherever a clear collection of sight remains."

Kindred spirits, the greatest of his time, sought him out, even in his mountain cabin, and felt honored by his friendship. Ralph Waldo Emerson urged him to visit Concord and rest awhile from the strain of his solitary studies in the Sierra Nevada. But nothing could dislodge him from the glacial problems of the high Sierra; with passionate interest he kept at his task.
