My First Summer in the Sierra is John Muir's memoir of his 1869 season in the Sierra Nevada, where he tended sheep and wandered the high country. He records plants, animals, rocks, weather and light with close attention. It is worth listening to as a warm, detailed chronicle of nature and an early plea to cherish wild places.
