Muir, John.
TWO ESSAYS ON THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE SIERRA NEVADA.
1973 1st Introduction by Shirley Sargent. 15 reproductions, with a drawing by the author. Ashland, OR: Lewis Osborne, 1973. First edition thus, one of 1,000 numbered copies. A pairing of two articles originally published serially in "Scribner's Monthly," and later included in an edited form in "The Mountains of California" (1894). Among Muir's most well-known and often-quoted articles, "A Wind Storm in the Forests of the Yuba" (1878) relates his treetop experience of an exhilarating windstorm. "The Passes of the Sierra" (1879) provides a comprehensive overview of the principal east-west passes, then recounts the "treasures of beauty" awaiting the traveler over Mono Pass. Hand-bound in sage green buckram, with gilt stamping. A fine copy in the original plain paper dust jacket. Kimes, W.F. & M.B. Kimes: John Muir: A Reading Bibliography, #434.
