    A Glance at the Past
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021*

John Muir is a legend in the American conservation movement, arguably the nation's foremost naturalist for his diligent work in preservation of place that eventually became national parks and monuments. In these essays and articles, the reader will marvel at Muir's knowledge of flora and fauna in the 19th century. His writing is descriptive as he paints word pictures of America more than 100 years ago.

    Great collection!
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016*

What can I say? It's a collection of works from the late, great John Muir. The man is legendary. His writing may come across as a little dry to modern readers, but then most works written in that time period tend to be. It is mainly his observations of the natural world around him. It is very good and for those interested in Muir this is a nice collection of his essays and the book cover is quite lovely in person.My main complaint is that I do wish he wrote more about the details of his day to day life. What he ate, what shelter, if any, he lived in? He doesn't talk much about that kind of stuff. Mainly just describing what he sees, which can get a little boring after a while to be honest.

    Inspiring
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019*

I really didn’t know what to expect when picking this up, I just thought it would be interesting to read more from the legend John Muir. This is not an adventure novel, or even really that exciting of a read. But, it is a great journal of the beauty of nature and written by someone who really knows how to write about what he sees. Even just reading 2 of the essays so far, it gets me excited to get outside and experience more of what he saw that caused him to sit and write about it!
