Having caught a glimpse ofsuch magical places as Tuolumne Meadows and El Capitan, Muir achedto return, and in the summer of 1869 he signed on with a crew ofshepherds and drove a flock of 2,500 woolly critters toward theheadwaters of the Merced River. The diary he kept while tending sheep forms the heart of My FirstSummer in the Sierra; published in 1911, it enticed thousands ofAmericans to visit the Yosemite country.

And itresounds with Muir's nearly pantheistic regard for the naturalworld: with celebrations of the Sierra's lizards that "dart abouton the hot rocks, swift as drago
