The Cruise of the Corwin: Journal of the Arctic Expedition of 1881
By 1880, John Muir had spent two decades wandering in the wilderness and was turning toward settled family life, but a proposed voyage on the steamer Corwin to search for a shipwrecked whaling vessel proved irresistible for this great adventurer. The Corwin set sail from San Francisco for the frostbitten shores of Siberia and Alaska. Muir's account of this expedition -- polar seas, rare flora, awe-inspiring glaciers, even the native people, who slept in tiny, fur-lined quarters -- captures the majesty and mystery of the farthest reaches of the American frontier.

Über den Autor
John Muir (1838-1914) was one of the most influential conservationists and nature writers in American history. He was instrumental in the creation and passage of the National Parks Act, and founder of the Sierra Club, acting as its president until his death. Muir was a spirit so free that all he did to prepare for an expedition was to throw some tea and bread into an old sack and jump the back fence.
