COPY-New York, March 17, 1909.Dear Muir:- I have had no response to my request to know what you and your friends think should be our next move.I propose that we should(1) Apply to Secretary Ballinger for a revocation of the grant, and if that falls (I see the enemy is claiming Ballinger already) (2) Institute proceedings to enjoin the Secretary and the Supervisors on the grounds that while Garfield had the power he bad not the right to nullify the act-(a) by destroying the valley it was (in part) passed to pre-serve, and(b) by withdrawing this great portion of the …

We can add here necessary facts about how to get there and the accommodations.May I trouble you, in a casual way, to find out from …

Among The Birds Of Yosemite., Henry David Thoreau, John Burroughs Mar 1909

Among The Birds Of Yosemite., Henry David Thoreau, John Burroughs

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

AMONG THE BIRDS OP THE YOSEMITE J.BAVELEHS in the Sierra forests usually complain of the want of life. " The trees," they say, " are fine, but the empty stillness is deadly; there are no animals to be seen, no birds. We have not heard a song in all the woods." And no wonder! They go in large parties with mules and horses; they make a great noise; they are dressed in outlandish, unnatural colors; every animal shuns them. Even the frightened pines would run away if they could. But Nature-lovers, devout, silent, open-eyed, looking and listening with love, find …
