John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Chico, Nov 29, 1877

Dear Mr Muir

Your P. card dated “Sequoia Woods on Kings River, Oct 21st”, has just come by tonight’s mail! Must have gone via Shasta & Lassen to Mt Hood and back, or some other longer way round! By this time you must of course have returned to civilization. To write you fully, I have not time – to do justice to your in imitable letter from Sacramento (about a week after your departure) would be impossible! What did finally become of “Snag Jumper”? I never did before allow any man to leave Chico with quite …

I expect to start east on Tuesday next the 16th I will soon be again enjoying some of Natures grandest scenes. I will sadly miss the pleas- ant companionship our little camp- ing party afforded. Hoping some day to hear the unfinished story of the voyage of the Snag Jumper”, and her Le- roic crew. I remain sincerely your friend, Sallie [illegible] Kennedy.

Notes from shasta. [CORRESPONDENCE OF TUB BULLETIN.] Sissons Station, September 10th. Mount Shasta is a flue refuge this hot weather. The snow and ice is not perceptibly less than is usually found at this season of the year, and the thousand fountains that spring around the base, are flowing as full and icy and blessedly pure as ever. Neither in the vegetation is there any visible recognition given of the haid.'dry times that have so afflicted the lowland fields. Their delightful freshness and beauty can scarcelv be conceived by those who have seen only the southern and middle portions of …
