A Thousand-Mile Walk To The Gulf

From one of America's greatest environmentalists, here is the adventure that started John Muir on a lifetime of discovery.

Taken from his earliest journals, this book records Muir's walk in 1867 from Indiana across Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida to the Gulf Coast. In his distinct and wonderful style, Muir shows us the wilderness, as well as the towns and people, of the South immediately after the Civil War.

This book makes the perfect gift for an aspiring naturalist, hiking enthusiast, or lover of southeastern terrain.
