Steep Trails-John Muir

Show by Walter Dwight Wilcox
Steep Trails by John Muir.A collection of Muir's previously unpublished essays, released shortly after his death. The recital of his experiences during a stormy night on the summit of Mount Shasta will take rank among the most thrilling of his records of adventure. His observations on the dead towns of Nevada, and on the Indians gathering their harvest of pine nuts, recall a phase of Western life that has left few traces in American literature. ... The landscapes that Muir saw ... will live in good part only in his writings, for fire, axe, plough, and gunpowder have made away with the supposedly boundless forest wildernesses and their teeming life."Featured on Camping in the Canadian Rockies.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
