Mount Whitney

EARLY ASCENTS

Letter from John Muir to George W. Stewart.

Published in Mt. Whitney Club Journal Vol I No. 2, May 1903. p.81.

"Reading the accounts of these Whitney climbs (in the Mt. Whitney Club Journal) recalls to mind my first ascent in October, 1873. Early in the morning of the 25th I left my horse on a meadow a short distance north of the Hockett trail crossing of the summit, and climbed the mountain (now Sheep Mountain), about 14,000 feet high, named Mt .Whitney on the State Geological Survey map of the region. To the north about …

Dear Sister Sarah,

I sent you a petition to sign which no doubt you have received ere this John Reid David, Maggie & myself thought the settlement of Anna's estate had better be done in the regular way, all the heirs sharing lawfully alike, & then dividing as they thought best under the present circumstances, instead of trying to make legal the memorandum written years ago.
We are about as usual, Maggie rather better. I return Marys letter. With love to Anna & the little ones Ever affectionately

Letter From Helen [Muir] To Wandering Wanda, [Ca. 1903]., Helen Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Wandering Wanda

O young wandering Wanda comes out of the west,
Of all the fruit eaters her legs are the best.
She can climb Grizzly Peak, Mt. Diablo also,
And the rocky Sierra, all covered with snow.

Some girls get tired,
But she gets inspired
With determined desire
To climb higher and higher.

Then she seems to have wings
So she laughs and she springs
And her footies rejoice.

And when she comes homing
Tired of lessons and roaming,
She eats very much
Though meat she won't touch.

Prof. Harry Fielding Reid,
Johns Hopkins University,

Dear Mr.Reid:

I am sorry I have nothing of importance to offer for your annual report on Glaciers. I met a traveler this summer who had just returned from the Muir Glacier, but could get nothing definite out of him as to recession, this being his first visit. I don't believe the earthquake had any appreciable influence on this glacier. This summer I saw a dozen or more of the Sierra glaciers about the heads of Kern and Kings rivers. They had all receded slightly …

Many thanks for your magnificent bird-book. I had already ordered a copy from your publishers, but the copy with your card came first.

It is a case where a Doctor needs to see it every day, or oftener. He will go to Dr Panlin who has invited him to come, and he will give him his best care, he saw the sore and would have removed it when Hiram was …
