| JOHN MUIR’S LAST JOURNEY, South to the Amazon and East to Africa. Branch. Presented here, edited and published for the first time, are Muir’s travel journals from 1911-12, along with his associated correspondence, finally allowing us to read in his own words the remarkable story of John Muir’s last great journey. At the age of seventy-three, traveling alone, he embarked on an eight-month, 40,000 mile voyage to South America, where he traveled up the great Amazon, and in Africa to the headwaters of the Nile, reaching the pristine forests he had so long wished to study. Although this epic journey has received almost no attention from the many commentators on Muir’s work, Muir himself considered it among the most important of his life and the fulfillment of a decades-long dream. A rare glimpse of Muir whose interests as a naturalist, traveler, and conservationist extended well beyond the mountains of California. At last, the closing chapter on this amazing individual is finally available. #B-13225.
