A Wind-Storm in the Forests by John Muir (American Roots)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. Muir's story of climbing a 100 foot Douglas Spruce to experience the sway and swirl of a storm for himself is unforgettable. This short work is part of
