John Muir: My Life of Adventure Garth Gilchrist
(Audio CD & Cassette)
One hundred years after John Muir went camping in the Sierras with President Theodore Roosevelt, Muir has become an environmental icon. Two new audio recordings by professional storyteller Garth Gilchrist celebrate many of Muir's favorite adventure stories
In John Muir: My Adventures in Nature, Gilchrist tells Muir's life story, including his childhood escapades around ancient Scottish castles and on the Wisconsin frontier, his genius at inventing remarkable machines, his walk of 1,000 miles, and of course his hair-raising mountain adventuressuch as riding an avalanche or climbing trees in a howling storm.

Gilchrist's 'John Muir' starts as a breeze and becomes the great roaring story John Muir was.
