Muir, John.
TWO ESSAYS ON THE MOUNTAINS & MEADOWS OF THE SIERA NEVADA.
1969 1st Introduction by Martin Litton. 19 reproductions from periodicals and books printed prior to 1900. Palo Alto, CA: Lewis Osborne, 1969. First edition thus, one of 2,100 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). Depicting the beauty of meadow life through the seasons, "The Glacier Meadows of the Sierra" (1879) concludes with a discussion of the several "species" of glacier meadows. "In the Heart of the California Alps" (1880) relates Muir's exhilarating but hazardous climb of Mt. Ritter, "king of the alps," a peak that had never before been climbed. Sage green buckram binding, with gilt stamping. A fine copy in the original plain paper jacket, which is lightly tanned along the spine and a bit rubbed. Kimes, W.F. & M.B. Kimes: John Muir: A Reading Bibliography, #421.
