"This edited publication of a portion of the journal John Muir kept on his first major expedition is a rewarding read. For anyone interested in US history, it gives a nice picture of what it might feel like to walk through the post-civil war South. Of course naturalists will be interested in Muir's keen observations of the flora of an area new to him. We all could benefit from the enthusiasm Muir has for the world around him, just as it is. We can learn from him how to slow down and really see and feel our surroundings when we are away from what men have done to "improve" their environment. Muir seems to see the natural world as the basic creation of God and the evidence of God's love for His creation. It's refreshing to read someone who shares a profound religious feeling without any dogma or promoting any specific sect. The book is a good, quick read and it left me wanting more."
