{"product_id":"9781409768487","title":"Letters to a Friend - Written to Mrs. Ezra S. Carr 1866-1879","description":"This vintage book contains a collection of letters written by John Muir to Ezra S. Carr. Whilst he was at university, Muir was a frequent caller at Carr’s house. She was a botanist and lover of nature whom Muir would come to consider his spiritual mother - he felt that Carr thoroughly understood and sympathised with him. His letters, mostly written from the Yosemite Valley, give a good indication to his sensitive spirit and the life he lived sheep-herding, guilding, and tending a sawmill. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the life and mind of this great author, and it would make for a worthy addition to any personal library. John Muir (1838 - 1914) was a Scottish-American writer, naturalist, and pioneering advocate of American wilderness preservation. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.","brand":"Geikie Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053961363696,"sku":"9781409768487","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781409768487_p0.jpg?v=1763722718","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781409768487","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
