Reminiscences Of Joseph Leconte., John Muir

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

REMINISCENCES OF JOSEPH EE CONTE. BY JOHN MUIR. "T)EYOND all wealth, honor, or even health, is the attach- •*-* ment we form to noble souls." I have been one of Joseph Ee Conte's innumerable friends and admirers for more than thirty years. It was in Yosemite Valley that I first met him, not far from the famous rock beneath the shadow of which he died. With a party of his students he was making his first excursion into the high Sierra, and it was delightful to see with what eager, joyful, youthful enthusiasm he reveled in the sublime beauty of …

Among the better signs is the increasing feeling that it is best, on the whole, to leave every section to work out its own problems. Many years ago Mr. Seward said of the negro race: " They will find their place ; they must take their level. The laws of political economy will determine their position and the relation of the two races. Congress cannot contravene those." …

COLUMBIA GLACIER NOTES ON THE PACIFIC COAST GLACIERS BY JOHN MUIR HE glaciers that load the mountains of the Pacific Coast form a belt about two thousand miles long, of which the south half is mostly narrow and broken, the north continuous and broad.

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 …

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 …

Feb 20, 1900

My dear Mr. Muir,

I have seen quite a number of the members of the Harriman expedition and they tell me that great changes have taken place in the glaciers of Glacier Bay. Mr. [Sarmett?] is to send me his map of the end of the Muir glacier and Mr. Gilbert has sent me photographs of Hugh Miller & Reid Inlets. Did you succeed in deciding whether [Render?], Carroll and Geikie glaciers have changed since your visit in 1896? and did you notice changes in any other glaciers? I am now making up my annual report. …

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

1127 N. Meridian Street,
Indianapolis, February 1, 1900.

My dear Mr. Muir:

I feel impelled to write a few lines to you this morning. I wish to tell you that the "white grandmother"-the "Lily grandmother," as you, tenderly and poetically, have designated her in your letters, has gone away. At six o'clock January 29-two days ago-she passed into the "Silent Land" after eight months of illness. Her death at the very last-after much weariness, and at times acute suffering, was peaceful and painless-like a sunset. I need not tell you that through the long sickness, she was patient, cheerful, heroic. …

Benevolent, solemn, fateful, pervaded with divine light, every landscape glows like a countenance hallowed in …
