Lordsburg, Cal. April 26, 1909.My Dear Mr. Muir:-Stickeen, with your valued words of presentation, came to hand in good time, several days ago. I have been delayed in making this acknowledgment, but not very long, and I hope you will pardon it.To say that I value the little book is to use a feeble word. It is a treasure in itself, and the manner in which it has come to me makes it doubly fine. I had not looked for it, but thought that the next time I visited Pasadena I would buy one of friend Vroman. Now I am …

Among The Birds Of Yosemite., Henry David Thoreau, John Burroughs

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

AMONG THE BIRDS OP THE YOSEMITE J.BAVELEHS in the Sierra forests usually complain of the want of life. " The trees," they say, " are fine, but the empty stillness is deadly; there are no animals to be seen, no birds. We have not heard a song in all the woods." And no wonder! They go in large parties with mules and horses; they make a great noise; they are dressed in outlandish, unnatural colors; every animal shuns them. Even the frightened pines would run away if they could. But Nature-lovers, devout, silent, open-eyed, looking and listening with love, find …

ΓûáΓÇó-ΓÇóΓÇó [ ' 'Γûá .3 HETCH-HETCHYΓÇöTHE TUOLUMNE YOSEMITE. The Hetch-Hetchy Valley, "that wonderful counterpart of Yosemite," as State Geologist Whitney called it, was discovered by Mr. Joseph Screech in 1850, the year before the discovery of Yosemite, when the Digger Indians held possession of it as an acorn orchard. After my first visit, in the autumn of 1871, I have always called it the Tuolumne Yosemite, for it is a wonderfully exact counterpart of the great Yosemite, not only in its crystal river and sublime rocks and waterfalls, but in the gardens, groves, and meadows of its flowery parklike floor. …

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

THE SEQUOIA J. he Big Tree (Sequoia gigantea) is Nature's forest masterpiece, and, so far as I know, the greatest of living things. It belongs to an ancient stock, as its remains in old rocks show, and has a strange air of other days about it, a thoroughbred look inherited from the long ago ΓÇö the auld lang syne of trees. Once the genus was common, and with many species flourished in the now desolate Arctic regions, in the interior of North America, and in Europe, but in long, eventful wanderings from climate to climate only two species have survived …
