My First Summer in the Sierra

Muir spent four months in the summer of 1869 in the Nevada Mountains, and the diary that he wrote down became the immortal literary masterpiece.In four months' journey, Muir studied mountains, ores, glacial traces, climate, plants, animals and so on, in addition to the shepherd. The achievements are no less than that of any other investigation team.In his writing, Muir showed a master style of literary grace. In his description, whether it was a fir, a cloud, a stone or a stream of water, it was not the same in every day. He showed a precise observation and rich ability to wield the pen with literary grace and richness.His expedition was full of passion and courage. In the mountains, Muir often walked in the mountains, lakes, canyons and meadows for a few days, with little bread. The pleasure in the wilderness and the attitude of harmony with nature could not be reached by the "e;tour pals"e; and "e;backpackers"e; that destroy the wilderness today.The whole book, from beginning to end, did not show any complaint about arduous life or wilderness. The wilderness is heaven for him. Every day, he always greeted the beginning of the dawn with great passion and pilgrimage to nature.
