A wind-storm in the forests - john muir

The nature writings of pioneering environmentalist and Sierra Club founder John Muir are like no other.

In this essay from 1894, Muir describes the grandeur of the winds at play in the forests, with stunning and musical detail about the trees of the Sierra and their individual reaction to the wind.

Muirs story of climbing a 100-foot Douglas Spruce to experience the sway and swirl of a storm for himself is unforgettable.
