"I've been interested in Muir's life and work ever since seeing so much of California, so passing up his edited journals on a newly acquired and mostly unspoiled Alaska was not even an option."
"John Muir is awesome. It is hard for me to fathom what it would be like to travel to Alaska only 30-some years after Seward purchased it from Russia. Sure there was a bit of traffic from Yukon gold findings (I just finished Call of the Wild, which takes place about the same time), but for the most part Muir was exploring uncharted and pristine wilderness. The kind of environment he was born to write about.
Travels in Alaska is much heavier into geology than My First Summer in the Sierra, as the primary purpose of Muir's trip was to study glaciers and glacial geology. But as expected, the book is also filled with wonderfully descriptive accounts of the flora and fauna of the North.
Reading this book secured my desire to travel to Alaska myself someday, and I recommend it to anyone interested in reading the works of this great outdoors enthusiast."
"So far this book is a great peek into Alaskan wilderness in the early 1900s. John Muir is a great writer of wildlife and he paints a picture in your mind of how out-of-the-way places like Wrangle looked back then when white people were coming in and taking over. It is interesting but I didn't give it a really high mark. Maybe it will improve as I read...
...it didn't. But it is a good acurate telling of the travels of the first real naturalist and a great discription of Glacier Bay when there were still glaciers."
"I've been reading this book, a couple pages at a time, for about 10 years. It's so incredibly beautiful and is what inspired a trip to Alaska in 1999. I don't care about a plot or anything else when I read it...I just like to suck it in like the clean Alaskan air."
