A Road Running Southward: Following John Muir's Journey through an Endangered Land by Dan Chapman
https://islandpress.org/books/road-running-southward
The introduction and Chapter 1: Who Is John Muir?
"[A Road Running Southward alternates] between jeremiad and dark satire...[where] walking, for Mr. Chapman, is a form of activism as well as personal penance, a way of making himself see, and feel, the drastic changes in a lacerated landscape he still loves."
The Wall Street Journal
"Chapman offers a lucid feature-story narrative with a splash of gonzo…. Chapman may be following Muir’s footprints, but as a work of environmental consciousness-raising, this book’s true inspiration may be Rachel Carson."
