A Thousand-Mile Walk To The Gulf - Legacy Edition

John Muir's Great Hike to the Gulf Of Mexico, Florida, and the Caribbean Waters

This deluxe, unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of John Muir's 1916 A Thousand-Mile Walk To The Gulf is part study of natural history, part travel guide of the warm southern waters of the Gulf of Mexico and shorelines of Florida and Cuba. Join the "Great Wanderer" Muir as he walks a thousand miles to the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean as he describes in vivid language the natural features that he sees and feels.

Muir regales readers with the beauty that can be experienced on the way to the southeastern waters of America. He describes his trails through Kentucky and Tennessee, mountain ranges along the eastern U.S., the gorgeous river country of Georgia, the Keys, swamps, and forests of Florida, the shorelines of the southeast edge, and a brief trip to Cuba. Far different than the terrain of Muir's favorite California, his trip to the south brings to life the incredible sights of the eastern United States.

This book makes a perfect gift for backpacking, camping, and nature lore enthusiasts who want to reflect on the history of the American southeast wilderness. Muir's keen eyes and poetic pen capture the thousands of species of wildlife, plants, and trees make the mountains, swamps, and everglades their home. Teach yourself how to see the world like a naturalist and appreciate the sheer multitude of life that the wilderness hosts! This book represents the rich history of the American outdoors, natural history, and camping tradition, and belongs on the bookshelf of every outdoors enthusiast.
