' There's somethin' of us that must still live on ; we 've got to join both worlds together an' live in one but for the other.' The doctor said that to me one day, an' I never could forget it; he said 't was in one o' his old doctor's books."

My dear Mr. Muir:

At last after many delays, I think I can safely count on reaching San Francisco very close to August 14. I expect to spend only one day in San Francisco, and then proceed direct to Tallac on Lake Tahoe, to join Bailey, who has our pack outfit at that place. From Tallac we will go by road to Big Trees and thence across to Mono Lake and return.
I want above all things for …

LAKE TAHOE IN WINTER.* ; By John Muir. * Reprint of a letter published in the San Francisco Bulletin in 1878. The winter glory of the Sierra! How little is known of it! Californians admire descriptions of the Swiss Alps, reading with breathless interest how ice and snow load their sublime heights, and booming avalanches sweep in glorious array through their crowded forests, while our own icy, snow-laden mountains, with their unrivaled forests, loom unnoticed along our eastern horizon. True, only mountaineers may penetrate their snow-blocked fastnesses to behold them in all their white wild grandeur, but to every healthy …

Thank you. Miss Merrill, for your good invitation.
I will come if I may be permitted to occupy the "benmost bore" of the society room. If there be any passing to and fro between the animal and vegetable kingdoms the most likely transformation will be that of a certain Scotchman to Brassica rubrum.

Cordially,

J. Muir

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best. Though extremely rugged, with its main features on the grandest scale in height and depth, it is nevertheless easy of access and hospitable ; and its marvelous beauty, displayed in striking and alluring' forms, wooes the admiring wanderer on and on, higher and higher, charmed and enchanted. Benevolent, solemn, fateful, pervaded with divine light, every landscape glows like a countenance hallowed in …

Among The Birds Of The Yosemite., John Muir

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

Among the Birds of the Yosemite. 751 AMONG THE BIRDS OF THE YOSEMITE. Travelers 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, …

My dear Mr. Muir:-We have received a letter from President Jordan of Stanford University asking permission to include in a book of stories about animals your contributions The Water Ouzel and The Dog and the Glacier from The Century Magazine. As you know, the first of these is included in your book on the Mountains of California, and we hope to include the other in another book of yours yet to be published by us.

Among the Animals of the l'osemtte. AMONG THE ANIMALS OF THE YOSEMITE. The Sierra bear, brown or gray, the sequoia of the animals, tramps over all the park, though few travelers have the pleasure of seeing him. On he fares through the majestic forests and caftons, facing all sorts of weather, rejoicing in his strength, everywhere at home, harmonizing with the trees and rocks and shaggy chaparral. Happy fellow ! his lines have fallen in pleasant places, — lily gardens in silver-fir forests, miles of bushes in endless variety and exuberance of bloom over hill-waves and valleys and along the …
