RCSTEEP TRAILS (VINT3628). by John Muir, edited by Williamr Frederic Bade.
1918 first edition of Muir's adventures and explorations of western scenes, with introduction by William Frederic Bade dated May 1918, with the copyright dated September of that year. Muir died at the end of 1914 so this is a posthumus edition yet the writing is largely taken from contributions he made to books and magazines from the late 1800s. Ttopics range among Mount Shasta (including the essay recounting Muir's survival in a snowstorm by getting warmth at a hot spring), Salt Lake City (and bathing in the Great Salt Lake), southern California, Nevada's farms, forests, timber, and glacial history plus ghost towns even then, Washington State, Oregon, and the Grand Canyon. Muir includes one harrowing winter sojourn into Yosemite's Tenaya Canyon but overall Steep Trails indicates how much roaming Muir did beyond his Yosemite.There are 24 separate excursions and accounts, 12 black-and-white photos are included, 9 by Herbert W.
