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

THE SCENERY OF CALIFORNIA. By John Muir. AT first sight of the fashionable scenery habit, it would seem that the people of the East need not come West seeking fine scenery, for they have plenty of it at home. God never made an ugly landscape. All that the sun shines on is beautiful, as long as it is wild; and much in every landscape is unchangeably wild, especially light, which falls everywhere. In no place on all this continent, from Florida to the Arctic Ocean, have I seen finer, diviner, more enchanting landscapes than in the Great American Desert, with …

I write to thank you for the trouble that you have taken concerning the Sequoia. I am familiar with S. sempervirens in all its phases and do not doubt that it takes but one year to ripen its cones. It was S. gigantea which I was uncertain about. I saw green cones, apparently young ones, on the trees at Palo Alto at Christmas time last year. I know that they collect seeds at Sequiois Mills in the late summer. Putting these two facts together, it seemed to me that
