Presented in this lot is this First Edition of "The Story of My Boyhood and Youth" by John Muir, Houghton Mifflin Company publisher, 1913. In a lifetime of exploration, writing, and passionate political activism, John Muir made himself America's most eloquent spokesman for the mystery and majesty of the wilderness, a master of natural description who evoked and celebrated with unique power and intimacy the untrammeled landscapes of Alaska and the American West. Muir recounts in vivid detail the three worlds of his early life: his first eleven years in Scotland; the years 1849–1860 in the central Wisconsin wilderness; and two-and-a-half most inventive years at the University of Wisconsin during that institution's infancy. John Muir (1838-1914), also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States. Blue cloth gold gilt hardcover, scuffing and soiling noted. Possible library copy. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and foxing. Measures 5.25"W x 8"L x 1.25"D approximately.
