Presented in this lot is this Rare First Edition of, "Travels in Alaska" by John Muir, The Sierra Edition, 1915. 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. Descriptions glowing with color, thrilling stories of adventures on mountains, glaciers, and the sea, and sympathetic accounts of the life of the Indians make this account of the wonders of our Northern possessions one of the most interesting travel books, while as the crowning volume of Muir's works it will take and hold a permanent place in American literature. John Muir (1838–1914) was an influential Scottish-American naturalist who campaigned extensively for the preservation of America's wilderness lands. He co-founded the Sierra Club and is often referred to as the Father of the National Parks.
The green cloth bound gold gilt stamped book is in good overall condition, slight scuffing noted to cover and spine, gold gilt top edge and deckled intact pages, slight age tanning but foxing not noted. Measures 5"W x 7.75"L x 1.25"D
