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

JOHN MUIR HOME FROM A YEAR OF WORLD-CIRCLING His Telepathic Search for Prof. J. D. Butler Dr. James D. Butler, now in his 90th year, is an old-time friend of John Muir, the famous naturalist—in fact, was his instructor in the long ago. In all the years since the two men have maintained a delightful correspondence and have often met. Dr. Butler is just in receipt of a breezy letter from Mr. Muir, but recently back from a run around the world, something like the one taken and plains; picturesque Japan; the mountainous island-dotted ccast of China; the loftiest ice-laden …

I am fairly well - not well enough to have much energy to tackle anything serious in the way of work. I must next year see what tramping a little on a glacier will do. If anything will cause the oil of life to burn a little more brightly that is it I am sure. I was at a lecture a short time ago and saw a lot of Alaska slides on the screen. I was immensely interested in the series on account of your connection with the stickeen country. I hope you are keeping well and that you …

Dear Friend John

About the middle of June last, I sent you a great long letter, 8 or 9 pages enclosing New York Draft, for 100 dollars, from C. H. Jay, and endorsed by him. I have not heard anything from it, and have become some what anxious, to ascertain what became of it. There might be other John Muirs in your town. The $100.00 is the payment of Jay's part of the indebtedness to you. I have been thinking that you may have been away from home, engaged on …

Dear John Muir:

I hope the "Glaciers" have by this time made their way to the encyclopedic sea, and broken off and drifted away, leaving you footloose. I have just this morning mailed my article on California to the same office--and it has made me hump this week to put so much California into so small a pinhole as ten thousand words.
I am mighty glad you are going to the Yosemite with the President, part of my consolation being that he can't lose_you as easily as he did Brother Burroughs in the Yellowstone. …

Dear Cousin: Our sister Anne, one of the twins, died at her home in Portage on the 15th of this month, of Apoplexy after a weeks illness. Only Daniel was, of all the family, able to be with her at the last. We were all surprised & shocked, for her health for the last year or two seemed to be growing better, & she had written long holiday letters as usual to us all in lively spirits. For more than a month she had been pretty closely confined to the house, partly from illness …

Dear Mr, Muir.

You may remember that in writing to you several weeks ago about your review of professor Sargent's "Silva", I mentioned the fact that we are planning to issue one number of the Atlantic in which every article shall be written by a Californian.We have now decided to issue this California number in July of the present year. Owing to the time required for getting proofs back from the authors, we are anxious to have all the material for the number in hand by …

Xmas Night, [1902]

Dear Brother John:

All the family here have gone out to some Christmas entertainment, notwithstanding the fact that the mercury stands a little below zero, accompanied by the fact of a high wind blowing. Grandma Owen, aged 73 yrs., wrapped up and went with the family. So I am here alone, having been shut in more than a month now. But when the weather grows milder and brighter I expect to be stronger and to get about once more.
What a shock the Oregon family have …

My Dear Mr. Muir

I recently read your article on the Grand Canon [diacritic] of the Colorado and am prompted thereby to write you, expressive of my appreciation of your description of that wonderful scene. I am free to confess that I never read a descriptive article before, that compares with it, not even in Walter Scott's writings which I have always considered unequalled in that line= But yours excells everything- so that I hardly knew which to admire most- the grandeurs of the subject or the masterly way in which it is pictured to the …

Dear Mr Johnson:

The book you sent has not yet reached me. As soon as I get a copy I'll read it through & say what I can, Hawthorne's notice however seems to leave nothing to say. We are glad to know that Agnes' health is restored & that you are likely to get your holiday after all. Why not come to California? I am quite well all of us are. but as usual I make slow headway in pen work.

My dear Brother John:

I write to say, in particular, that I shipped a box for you, by freight, yesterday, containing the parts of your wooden clock and other things whittled long ago. I am not at all sure that you will find them satisfactory as they had become so scattered and mixed and possibly broken that it was a very difficult matter for me to know what to send and what to leave here, such as the brass wheels, and iron bars, etc.
Most of the things sent were found upstairs in the barn …

My dear Professor Anderson,

I guess you must need plain downright rest with clean reviving exhilarating air & beauty - divine stuff good for everybody this side the immortal regions. As to the mechanical tingling of extra taps, raps or streams of electricity you can hardly be wrong keeping with the treatment as long as you find yourself positively benefitted thereby. October, though sometimes speckled with little storms, is usually a charming - Indian-summerish month in the Sierra sugar pine region at an elevation of 6000 to 7000 feet, easily reached by rail at Tahoe or …
