Yosemite Valley In Flood, John Muir

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

YOSEMITE VALLEY IN FLOOD. 347 clear about $40 per day. His machinery costs about $2,500; but, as he gets about sixty days' work during the thrashing season, the machine nearly pays for itself in one year. It will be seen from these figures that the farmer can get his crops harvested at a small expense; and at the same time, if he has money to invest in machinery, he can obtain good interest on his outlay. The greater the number of farmers arriving, the better will it be for those already here. There is room for all; and the more …

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

[Fragment of letter of Mrs. Carr, March 3, 1872 ]

I shall put your glacial letter to me with the one to LeConte into shape and send to Mr. Emerson, asking him to get it published in the Atlantic. You are not to know anything about it -- Let it take its chances.
But my mind is made up on one 'pint'. All this fugitiveness is going to be gathered up, lest you should die like Hoses in the mountains and God should bury you where 'no man knoweth'. I copied every word of your old Journal. It looks pretty, …

I propose to take life easy "and then to begin again my trade in the "journal" I have not yet written upon the Yosemite. I dread to do it, lest I should fail; and then there was so much of my family to write that I grew tired of it, and wound off when I reached San Francisco. One of these days, however, my audacious pen will proceed to desecrate the glories of you valley. I have had for some months thousand's "Walden" and his "Excursions", as also [Ja?] Ingdon's] last poems piled up together on my book case …

Readers of the preceding pages will remember the many proofs of old and existing volcanic eruptions in the region of the Sierras; and recently {here has been in this region some severe earthquake disturbance. The earth has been rent in long and deep, but narrow, fissures ; rocks, trees, animals and dwellings have been swallowed up or destroyed, and great destruction of property, and not a little terror, have been the result of these tremblings, which even now have not ceased.

[page 1 not transcribed} qo THE WONDERS OF THE YOSBMITE VALLEY, the head of the Merced river was not high enough for the formation of a glacier into the Valley. Now comes the question, which Mr. Muir discusses: Was the Valley once occupied by a glacier? The following are Mr. Muir's observations, almost in his own words, in a recent letter: v I have been over my glacial territory, and am surprised to find that it is so small and fragmentary. The work of ancient ice, which we proposed to christen ' glacial system of the Merced,' is only a …

[Quotation From Muir.], Samuel Kneeland

74 THE WONDERS OF THE YOSEMITE VALLEY, (though having none, as the region had not been surveyed), have been bus}' the past winter in endeavors to have their titles legalized. If these persons have made what they regard as improvements, let them be paid amply therefor; build a golden bridge for them to pass over, and let them carry at once aud forever by this pathway, cheap at any price, all supposed claims to this part of the national domain. True, it has no gold, nor fertile land, nor available forests, to tempt the cupidity of individuals, or in any …
