My First Summer in the Sierra

John Muir, read by Brett Barry. Silver Hollow Audio, , unabridged, five CDs, 6 hrs., $34.95 ISBN 978-0-9793115-5-0

Shortly after the end of the Civil War, Muir made his first trip to the Sierra Nevadas, working as a shepherd and documenting the experience in his diary. This audio version, released for the 100th anniversary of the classic travelogue’s publication, features a solid but unmemorable reading by Brett Barry. Although his narration is plainspoken, calm, and well paced, Barry—who at times mispronounces words or speaks haltingly—fails to convincingly convey Muir’s familiarity with the natural life he studied during his famous trek across the mountains.
