Muir, John.
RAMBLES IN KING'S RIVER COUNTRY. Foreword by Alan Ross.
1977 1st 15 reproductions of drawings and maps from contemporary sources. Ashland, OR: Lewis Osborne, 1977. First edition, one of 600 numbered copies. First printing in book form of an article that originally appeared in The Century Magazine in 1891 under the title "A Rival of the Yosemite. The Canon [sic] of the South Fork of King's River, California." Muir first visited the King's River valley in 1875, and described it as a pristine, primitive wilderness. Upon his return in 1891, he found the scene greatly changed and seriously damaged. Joining with others, Muir penned this narrative to help further the fight to prevent the region's splendor from being laid to waste by commercial interests. A fine copy in the original plain paper jacket. Kimes, W.F. & M.B.: John Muir: A Reading Bibliography, #A456.
