Description



Book Synopsis



An illustrated edition of the well-loved tale in which world-famous naturalist John Muir recounts how he and a dog named Stickeen struggled to cross an Alaskan glacier during an ice storm. An exhilarating story that has become an American classic. Published in conjunction with Rick Heide.

John Muir (1838-1914) was a naturalist, author, and advocate for wilderness preservation. A prolific writer, his many books, essays, and letters abound with wit, humor, and an exuberant love of the natural world. Other John Muir books published by Heyday include The Essential Muir: A Selection of John Muir's Best (and Worst) Writings, and My First Summer in the Sierra.



Review Quotes




"This little story exhibits at its best the mature literary art of John Muir. It is a leaf from the large book of his experience as an explorer. Even one who has not had first-hand acquaintance with glaciers, forests, and mountains cannot read this story of adventure without a speeding pulse. [...] It is safe to say that henceforward Stickeen ranks among the immortals." --Sierra Club Bulletin, in a review from 1909

"A stirring tale, exquisitely told." --Booklist
