About this book

John Muir made three trips north between 1879 and 1890, and he was still revising his account of them in the last weeks of his life. The book appeared in 1915, a few months after his death. It follows him through the Alexander Archipelago by canoe with the missionary S. Hall Young, into the ice of Glacier Bay, and up onto the glacier that now carries his name, where he camps alone among the crevasses and writes about light on ice the way other men write about cathedrals. There is also Stickeen, the small stubborn dog whose crossing of an ice bridge Muir never got over. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here at no cost.
