March 12th 1901

Mr. John Muir,

Martinez California;

Dear Mr. Muir;

I have wondered for many years prior to the year 1893 if the John Muir, the indefatigable geologist botanist and discoverer of glaciers, was the same man who was so kind and attractive to me, and Indianapolis boy many years ago. The short sketch in the Century of May '93, where it states that John Muir went to Indianapolis and entered the employ of a large wagon material factory (Osgood & Smith) convinced me that my boy friend of the Early seventies, is the selfsame man who …

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Martinez, Feb. 22 1901

My dear Mrs Jones,

I am very sorry to learn that your fathers health is so poor & also that you had to depend on writing. It is very hard work ill paid & uncertain. No doubt you will learn to write well. I was pleased to see one of your articles in the Examiner. Perhaps you had better stick to the newspaper for a while. The best magazines are very exacting. I am not acquainted with the editors of any except those of the Century & Atlantic tho' I have written a little for others. …

John Muir

A man with the brain of a philosopher, the imagination of a poet, & the heart of a child: that is John Muir Simplicity, unostentatiousness, tenderheartedness characterize him. Imagination of a poet - is he a poet? We may at least class him with those of whom Wordsworth says "Oh, many are the poets that are sown 'By Nature, men endowed with the highest gifts, 'The vision and the faculty divine" Possibly - "wanting the accomplishment of verse" Philosopher? Yes: he goes behind the visible & tangible - phenomena - and seeks …

1960 N. Pa. St.

My dear friend,

Janet sends by today's mail a little piece of her own handiwork. She thought perhaps Mrs Muir would be pleased by her remembrance. She was very happy in the doing of it. Physically, she is much better; but 'the voices' those evil spirits, still annoy her & she cannot control herself but talks much of the time. The rest of us are tolerably well, and I hope that you & your family are in good health. I want to ask you if you might chance to have a letter or …

Glad you're coming. I'll go with you. None I'd rather go with. I'm sure It will color your whole life, steep it in divine terrestrial dyes which in essence are also celestial, and be a glorious enrichment, [a] guiding light in whatever ways your work may lead.

My dear Prof. Pickard:

I should have thanked you long ere this for your kind review of my humble but glorious life, had I not waited to learn what i could of poor much enduring Mrs. Carr, She is now living at Santa Paula, Ventura Co., with a brother of Prof. Carr, well cared for, her memory mostly gone, helpless, yet cheerful, holding on to life with wonderful tenacity like a storm-beaten,fire-scarred Sequoia. Some four or five years ago, when last I saw her, her memory began to fail, though …

Cal.
Niles, December 30, 1900

Mr. Robert Underwood Johnson,

My Dear Sir:-

your recent letter asking about the condition of the supposed Armstrong forest and our duties as trustees was duly received, but I could not at once reply, because, although I presumed as you did that the death of Colonel Armstrong ended the whole matter, I still thought it necessary to ascertain the facts.
I was in Santa Rosa a few days ago (the county seat of Sonoma), and there examined the history of the redwood land in question. I found that in 1892 a deed was recorded transferring …

I hope that you are all well, that you Emma are stronger. Did Anita and her husband go to [Harvard?] as she though probable when she wrote? if they did she will seem a long way from home. I have not heard whether Sarah is teaching this year. Mabel will be attending the University now, and [Henriet?] I think of as [illegible] still her Mothers helper, to think and plan for the household. I have a beautiful photo. of her. I wonder if Sarah or Mabel have one to spare for me. Those I have were taken when little children. …

Martinez, Oct. 21, 1900.

My dear Mr. Slifer:

The birch specimens from Cook Inlet came a week or two ago. The bark is a fine large piece, and the leaves and flowers, which l sent to Prof. Sargent for the Arnold Arboretum, are just what were wanted. I am very much obliged to you, and Prof. Sargent will be delighted, it is so hard to get such specimens in season from those remote places.
I congratulate you on your restoration to health, your experiences in the Northland, and on your success in …

Lake Tahoe In Winter., John Muir May 1900

Lake Tahoe In Winter., John Muir

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

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 …

My dear Sellers,

Sure enough it has been an unconscionably long time without a word between us, though for a month or two I have been expecting to see you here. & when you letter cam I looked eagerly to see whether it was from Chicago or San Francisco. Well I was glad to get it anyhow though I wish the news had been better. Mrs Sellers not well & you still toiling & battling in that confounded big smothering company - on the other hand I'm glad to know that you are in good …

The Forests Of The Yosemite Park., John Muir

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

492 The Perplexities of a College President. The Forests of the Yosemite Park. 493 of our colleges and universities to-day is such that the president is easily overridden in all these matters by any faculty committee into whose hands work that is properly executive is generally committed. The result of all this is the present only too general attempt to build a comfortable house on a six-by-nine foundation, to secure satisfactory technical training with narrow and insufficient preparation, to attempt to establish university methods with students whose preparation to work under such methods has been little more than academic, and …

Bonham Texas March 23rd 1900 My Dear Louie I have thought ever since receiving yours and Wanda’s beautiful Christmas remembrances, I would write and thank you for them and tell you how much I appreciate your loving remembrance. I have not been strong this winter and have waited for Spring to bring me my usual health and I am better. I have thought of you so many, many time and thought how much I would give to see you again. I do think you might make us a visit. I think we could find things of interest—if not of beauty—in …

March 13, 1900.

Mr. John Muir,

Martinez California.

Dear Sir:

I thank you very much for your note of the 5th and for your solicitude on account of my health. I ought to tell you that the actual work involved in the conduct of a magazine is not very troublesome, but the thing that gives us anxiety is our failure to extract copy from our intimate friends, like Hobson, Tesla, and others. Our enemies we can browbeat, but with our friends browbeating would be of no avail. The circus I had with Hobson has only been equalled by the …

If you have not heard from Martinez since I visited your brother John, this letter will be a surprise to you; but, as I was there on the 16th and 17th, it is probable that you have heard that I have been there.

My dear Muir;

A line to tell you that we are safely back from the other side of the Atlantic where I had a most interesting visit and did what I had to do in the Crataegus matter. I did not see our friend Sir Joseph Hooker who was very dangerously ill with the prevailing influenza and when I left England there were grave doubts whether he would recover [illegible]. There seemed to be complications of heart trouble Which is only too apt to follow this disease, especially in the case …
