This beautiful literary collection explores the spectacular natural features of Yosemite through the eyes of some of the most extraordinarily talented writers. In 1851, Lafayette Bunnell chronicled his travels with the Mariposa Battalion, the first non-natives to visit Yosemite Valley. Following in his footsteps, Theodore Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, Clarence King, Frederick Law Olmsted, Joaquin Miller, and Horace Greeley made their pilgrimages and were moved to recount their observations. Included here as well is the work of John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club.

Das (Hör)Buch, das Theo M. Schlaghecken nach seiner Rückkehr von seiner über zweijährigen Reise einmal um die Welt geschrieben hat, ist ein sehr Persönliches geworden. Es erzählt davon, warum er damals aus seinem sicheren Leben wirklich ausgestiegen ist, wie wenig er eigentlich ein Abenteurer war, wie viel ihm die Welt zugesetzt hatte, und wie schwer es war, wieder in ein normales Leben zurückzufinden. Wer das Buch liest oder ihm in seinem Hörbuch zuhört, reist mit, fühlt mit, ist dabei - hautnah und mittendrin.
