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

BROWNE TEE BELOVED* Francis Fisher Browne, or Browne the Beloved as I like to call him, was one of the finest and rarest men I ever knew. Daring the last five or six years of his life, when I came to know him intimately, my love and admiration have been constantly growing as the noble strength and beauty of his character came more and more clearly to view. I have never ceased to wonder how he was able to do so vast an amount of downright hard work of lasting influence on our literature and at the same time lend …

Dear Friend John

Your reply to my reqest for help on a church, and other matters, came duly about 6 weeks ago. The request at the best was postponed till 1915, my possible time of coming to your Shore. I fear neither you nor I can build on that. There has been no adverse change with me, but times wearing work goes on. What you notice in the mountains goes on in our mortality, and we can't tell when the catyclism may come.

I'm so glad you're going back home to the desert the only place you seem able to keep well in.
I hope you are settled ere this & that your health is already beginning to mend. Spare no expense in helpful servants. For if you keep on working night & day with your children & husband cooking sweeping waiting on the table etc etc as you have been doing all will soon come to a sad end.
Therefore give heed to your devoted father.

Marshall, Chief Geographer, has just strongly recommended 716 square miles for our
Rocky Mountain National Park.
I am grateful to you for writing your biography.
It is most encouraging and will help thousands of us fellows to keep up the fight for the great world out doors.
You have helped me more than all others; but for you I might never have done anything for scenery.

Hope this finds your health good,

LESSONS OF THE WILDERNESS' BY JOHN MUIR Excepting Sundays we boys had only two days of the year to ourselves, the 4th of July and the 1st of January. Sundays were less than half our own, on account of Bible lessons, Sunday-school lessons, and church services; all the others were labor-days, rain or shine, cold or warm. No wonder then that our two holidays were precious, and that it was not easy to decide what to do with them. They were usually spent on the highest rocky hill in the neighborhood, called the Observatory; in visiting our boy friends on …
