Book Review

John Muir: Family, Friends, and Adventures. Edited by Sally M. Miller and Daryl Morrison. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2005. xii + 281 pp. Illustrations, notes, index. $29.95.)

The appearance of any book about John Muir should prompt the question: What has not been said about him? After all, biographies about Muir (1838–1914) abound and continue to be written at an impressive rate, at least in comparison to any other figure that shaped national parks, wilderness preservation, and nature writing in the United States. In addition to the articles which regularly appear in a variety of journals, this body of literature also includes several anthologies focusing on Muir and his legacy. These anthologies arise from Muir conferences held about every five years by the University of the Pacific, where most of Muir's papers are held. The latest of these edited volumes to appear stems from a gathering held along California's Feather River in 2001 and is titled John Muir: Family, Friends, and Adventures.
