Midway Museum

Books are sold at the Midway Museum’s bookstore (same hours as the Museum). Because this is a unique selection, and many of the books are no longer easily findable on the market, prices and availability vary. To order books sent to you, call the Museum during business hours at 912-884-5837 or use our book list (here) to send an inquiry email to our staff. 

Ramblings Through the High Sierras (by Joseph LeConte)

Joseph LeConte, native of Midway, Georgia, and one of the most prominent scientists of the 19th century, was an early California conservationist who helped found the Sierra Club. His 1870 journal of travels through California’s High Sierras mountains gives a picture of a long-past culture of exploration.
