ABOUT THE BOOK "Explore Alaska with John Muir" offers a captivating journey through the rugged wilderness of Alaska, as seen through the eyes of one of America's most revered naturalists. The book blends vivid descriptions of Alaska's glaciers, mountains, and forests with Muir's deep reflections on nature and humanity's place within it. Through a combination of adventure and philosophical insight, Muir's experiences, such as his harrowing expedition with the loyal dog, Stickeen, bring the grandeur of the glorious Alaskan landscape to life. The book provides not only a glimpse into the unspoiled wilderness of Alaska, but also into Muir's profound environmental philosophy, which continues to influence conservation efforts today. Readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world, inspired by Muir's passion for preservation and his eloquent expression of the sublime beauty found in remote places. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a history buff, or someone seeking inspiration, this book offers a unique and enriching perspective on the importance of nature in our lives. We are so excited to share this new book with you! This is the fifteenth book in our History Highlights Series! Between Bill's research and writing and Laura's input and editing, we're staying productive. We know all this is possible thanks to those of you that purchase our books, subscribe to our History Video Streaming Site, and support through our Member Supporter Website. We are so grateful for your enthusiasm. We have departed the Columbia and Snake River cruise and are off to enjoy the extension motorcoach tour, visiting Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Parks. What a perfect way to celebrate the launch of the book about John Muir who was often called the "Father of the National Parks." On a personal note, today is also our 15th wedding anniversary, so we are celebrating more than one amazing thing on this lovely Saturday. Warmest regards, Bill and Laura |

We are savoring our time here in Alaska. The weather has been cool and a little wet, but comfortable and peaceful. In the same way that Mark Twain emerged as the "voice" of the Mississippi River, or Thoreau for Walden Pond, famed naturalist John Muir wrote beautifully about Alaska.
