JOHN MUIR gathering season, and the owner of the orchard was found by the messenger, at his post among heavily-laden trees. A shade of mock despair passed over his face, and picking a cherry, he exclaimed in his native dialect: "Dinna ye see that, mon? That red-faced, bald- headed, sleek, one-legged wretch? I'm an absolute slave to that diwil. So, I can na go, I can na go." From this example and from many others of the kind which might be. adduced, it is plain that the life which we have now considered at some length runs the whole gamut …

JOHN MUIR JOHN MUIR: GEOLOGIST, EXPLORER, NATURALIST And Nature, the old nurse, took The child upon her knee, Saying: "Here is a story-book Thy Father has written for thee."

And he wandered away and away With Nature, the dear old nurse, Who sang to him night and day The rhymes of the universe. And whenever the way seemed long, Or his heart began to fail, She would sing a more wonderful song, Ov tell a more marvelous tale. ]HE …

Lecture One: Freehand Charity Of The 14th Century, Earl Clement Davis

Origins of Modern Religion, Modern Charity and Modern Labor Problems

This begins with the Papal Bull of 1302 by Pope Boniface VIII asserting the absolute divine right to rule over the world both spiritually and temporally. It then looks back at the contributions of Greece (ideas and knowledge), Judaism (monotheism and religion), Rome (governance and administration), and then the Germanic tribes (individual liberty) leading up to the reformation and beyond.

Dear Mr Muir,

Your kind note of inquiry of Nov. 3rd has been forwarded on to me here. It is now some 4 1/2 months since I bade farewell to England.
Strangely enough I had been wondering about you just a day or two prior to receiving the letter, recalling our interesting talk in the Red Sea, and speculating as to the issue of your travels and the few suggestions I was able to give you. I am truly pleased to learn that the information was useful, and that you had …

My dear Mr. Muir:

The Outlook publishes in the early summer of each year what we call a Recreation Number, the object of it being to inspire our readers to out-of-door life, and to give them some guidance and instruction how to get that out-of-door life in the best way and with the best advantage. I read your "Our National Parks" last spring, in connection with a call - it was not enough to be entitled a visit - at the Yosemite Valley. It made me long for …

Dear James Davie Butler,

Yosemite Magnet:

In all my life , now growing long, no other psychological X ray has proved so strong as that shot from yourself as you entered Yosemite 35 years ago, which, as you know, suddenly awakened me from contemplation of the landscape on the top of North Dome & pulled me down to you over rocks & brush by a way I knew not. This to me is still a prime marvel; but I do not marvel that you still walk the earth. For with temperance & tough, inherited …

My dear Sir:

You may be sure I sorely regret missing a visit from you, for good lovers of God's wildness are far from common even in these days of nature-books, nature-studies, & outings. I was in Australia when your kind letter to me was written, & did not get home untill the end of May.
But you must come again. Editors should take a good long rest every year, a complete reviving rest especially after long continued over work has brought on nervous prostration "observations on the country, …

The Redwood grows taller than any other tree in the world. One that …

We are spending the day in camp for the first time since we reached here, that is this is the first whole day we have stayed in camp, for there has been so much to see & so many places to go.

Mr. John Muir,
Martinez,
Contra Costa Co., Cal.

Dear Sir:-

While doing some advanced work in education along the line of children's literature in the San Jose Normal School, my attention was called to the fact that your story "An Adventure With a Dog and a Glacier", could be used as a story for children in the higher grades. Accordingly at the first opportunity, I read it to a class of eighth grade children in the Training School. They responded with such strong expressions of appreciation as to convince me of its …

Letter From [John Muir] To Daniel Beard, [1904 Apr]., John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Camping, walking, etc. [Apr. 1907]

Dear Mr Beard:

I would like to encourage walking in wild places, that so our boys may gradually grow up out of natural hunting blood-loving savagery into natural sympathy with all our fellow mortals,- plants and animals as well as men. Therefore as a so-called Top Notch I would suggest something like this-
Walking
The walker making the best excursion in pure wildness. Not necessarily the longest & most dangerous excursion up the highest mountains, through the deepest woods, or across the widest torrents, glaciers or deserts; but the one however short or long, rough …
