The Mountains of California: I by John Muir (Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company)

Manuscript specimen

Fragment, with extensive corrections in pencil, from a draft of chapter 7, page 145 (note: this fragment directly leads to the fragment tipped into volume 8 of this set): "one of the loveliest glacier meadows I ever enjoyed, lies hidden in an extensive forest of Twoleafed Pine, in the basin of the ancient Tuolumne Mer de glace, about ten miles to the west of Mount Dana. Imagine yourself at the Tuolumne Soda Springs on the bank of the river. You set off northward through"
