Wongo And The Wise Old Crow

In Wongo And The Wise Old Crow, we delve into the formative years of John Muir at the University of Wisconsin, where he often sought solace at the home of Dr. Ezra S. Carr. The warmth and encouragement he received from Mrs. Carr, a passionate botanist and nature enthusiast, sparked a profound friendship that Muir cherished deeply, referring to her as his spiritual mother. This connection is beautifully captured in Muirs heartfelt letters to her, penned from the breathtaking Yosemite Valley. Through these writings, we gain an intimate glimpse into Muirs life as he juggled sheep-herding, guiding, and working at a sawmill to sustain himself, while passionately immersing himself in the study of glacial geology and reveling in the wonders of nature.
