John Muir and Stickeen: An Alaskan Adventure

By Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff

Book Overview

Writer and naturalist John Muir is best known for the many years he spent exploring the Yosemite Valley. But he was a true explorer and enjoyed adventures in many different kinds of challenging environments. This story is about a special day that he recorded in his journal, the day that he designated as his most favorite adventure of all. Muir traveled to Alaska in 1880 with his friend the Reverend Sameul Young and Young's dog, Stickeen. One morning Muir and Stickeen set off to explore a glacier, and found themselves in danger. Larger-than-life Muir handles the crisis as they occur, but little Stickeen manages to match him one for one.
