The Yosemite by John Muir APPLICATION description
Recently his book on the Yosemite--the result of ten or more years in the Valley in the early seventies-has come from the press. Assuredly Mr. Muir is not to be hurried. Like the enduring rocks, the slow-moving glaciers, and the many centuried sequoias, he believes in the amplitude of time. How pityingly he speaks of "Time-poor" persons who never spare enough of their scanty store to wander leisurely in some of the world's wildernesses!
In reading Mr. Muir's book on the Yosemite, or, in truth, any of his books, one gets but a partial view of his character. The enthusiastic nature lover, the tireless student, the adventurous explorer--these characteristics stand out on every page, but to know the man one should camp and tramp with him in the Yosemite, as I did in nineteen hundred and nine, in company with Mr. John Burroughs, Mr. Francis Browne and a few others. There we saw the many-sided Muir--the man one sees in his books, and also the teasing, fun-loving Muir, the arbitrary, the devout, the modest, the assertive Muir--an exasperating, lovable, complex personality -
