Letter From [John Muir] To George Galloway, 1872 Apr 25., John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Yosemite Valley,
April 25, '72.

Dear Nephew George Galloway:

I got your letter and read it twice. I like letters when they are written by farmers’ boys for then they are always full of something that smells like hay and wheat and fresh butter and milk and they always seem to be tanned brown with sunshine. I think your description of the long shining tailed peacocks is first-rate. You are going to make a grand scholar. I'm glad you like your wild cats and dogs. I like all things that are wild better than tame things. God takes care of …

San Mateo, April 9th, 1872.

Dear John,

Yours of__received, giving notice of house building. Had I written you a week ago as I was on the point of doing the letter would have pleased you more than this will. For in the meantime a building appropriation for the University of $300,000, makes the Berkeley residence nearer to our hopes, and involves large plans which will require no little oversight. It is impossible to tell whether Dr. Carr will be loosened at all this summer, and I write to say that you must not let your plans be affected by ours. …

Yosemite Valley April 3d 1872

Dear Runkle,

I hope to hear from you soon. I know that you are exceedingly busy therefore I have not written you oftener during the winter. I am afraid the few letters I sent may have exacted too much of your time. Anything I sent with a view to publication wh you do not like, toss into wastebasket. How many letters have you received in all? I think I have sent ten since writing the first Glacier rambles. The last is an account of our earthquake storm which commenced March 26th and is …

Dear friend Emily:

Your broad pages are received. You must never waste letter time in apologies for size. The more vast and prairie-like the better. But now for the business part of your coming. Be sure you let me know within a few days the time of your setting out so that I may be able to keep myself in a findable, discoverable place. I am, as, perhaps, I told you, engaged in the study of glaciers and mountain structure, etc., and I am often out alone for weeks where you couldn't …

Yosemite Valley In Flood, John Muir Mar 1872

Yosemite Valley In Flood, John Muir

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

YOSEMITE VALLEY IN FLOOD. 347 clear about $40 per day. His machinery costs about $2,500; but, as he gets about sixty days' work during the thrashing season, the machine nearly pays for itself in one year. It will be seen from these figures that the farmer can get his crops harvested at a small expense; and at the same time, if he has money to invest in machinery, he can obtain good interest on his outlay. The greater the number of farmers arriving, the better will it be for those already here. There is room for all; and the more …

Yosemite Valley March 26th 72. Evening ---- -----Dear Emerson Yosemite is waving & throbbing in that kind of storm called Earthquake throbbing while I write. This morning at half past two oclock I was shaken most suddenly from sleep to blessed life. My cabin was full of strange sounds, & was rocking, crazing, swedging, shuddering in so boisterous a way that in crossing the floor I had to stagger & steady as if walking the deck of a schooner in waves. I had never experienced this kind of storm. Nevertheless I was not in doubt one moment for as the …

Dear Mr. Muir,

Behold the two members of this Woolson family sitting at a long centre table before their coal grate fire, with a blessed letter from the Yo Semite spread out before them, and both pens driving fast to indite a reply. I can see the little log cabin among the rushes, under the eternal walls, and the invitation you give me to come there and spend a year, sounds to me, in this far-away, crowded city, as if some serene exullant angel had leaned [at?] the [illegible] of Heaven …

But my mind is made up on one 'pint'. All this fugitiveness is going to be gathered up, lest you should die like Hoses in the mountains and God should bury you where 'no man knoweth'. I copied every word of your old Journal. It looks pretty, …

My dear Muir,

You cannot think how pleased I was to get your letter which arrived in England on Feb 17th. It seems to have taken some time as I see that yours was dated Dec 4th. However I suppose, I am thankful to say that Yosemite has not yet been so overrun with tourists as that there should be a railway there & to a regular postal service. The sketch is a most pleasant reminder of that pleasant time we had in the mountains. Oh that it could come over …
