Notes On The Pacific Coast Glaciers., John Muir

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

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. On the Sierra Nevada of California between latitudes 2,6° 30' and 390 there are sixty-five small glaciers, distributed singly or in groups of three or four on the northern slopes of the highest peaks at an elevation of 11,000 to 12,000 feet above the sea. These slow-flowing, ragged- edged, residual masses, few of which are more …

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 …

My Dear Friend Muir:

I have just arrived in the [illegible] after an eventful & busy summer in the valley of the great Yukon. I was delayed a month in all at Skagway, more than a week after I saw you.

My dear Muir:

I realize greatly the importance of being up and moving.If we do not do it we shall soon die of old age.Just now, however, Crataegus gives me as much mental and physical activity as I can stand. When this new field is exhausted and you have got those Birch flowers from Alaska I shall be ready to start forth again on our travels.
I have been in New York this week for a day hunting up Crataegus in the Columbia College Herbarium and was fortunate enough to see the Gilders.They …

Dec. 20th, 1898.

My dear Mr. Muir,

I thank you warmly for your kind letter of the 9th. It reached me on the 15th. It was disappointed to know that we were not to see your face - not to hear your voice and learn from you of all you had seen and learned during your trip from Maine to Florida. I can well believe how much you must have enjoyed it all. How well I recollect the day long ago, even thirty years, when you left us to find your way to Florida. How …

My dear Mr, Muir,

I thank you for your kind letter of January 3d. It did my heart good, and was just what I wanted. I know that you have loved these children for many years, and your affection for them has been one of their richest blessings. I wish that I could write more hopefully of Janet's condition. Charles saw her last week. He had a long talk with her physician. The Doctor says, 'she must improve physically before mental improvement begins.'The 'voices' which torment her, as did the evil spirits …
