Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Muir, John
Title: Letters to a Friend: Written to Mrs. Ezra S. Carr, 1866-1879
Place Published: Boston
Publisher:Houghton Mifflin Company
Date Published: 1915
Description:

[6], 194 pp. Original plain boards, paper spine label. One of 300 copies. First Edition.

"Mrs. Jeanne C. (Smith) Carr, wife of Professor Ezra Slocum Carr, to whom these letters were written, had a great influence upon Muir's career. Mrs. Linnie Marsh Wolfe, in Son of the Wilderness: The Life of John Muir... says: `More than anyone else who came into Muir's early life she became his teacher in the humanities. She formed the bridge between the crabbed isolation of his boyhood and the world of men he would have to live in'... The earlier letters in this collection were written before Muir came to California. In the others, written between 1868 and 1879, Yosemite is almost constantly the theme..." (Farquhar).

Condition

Small stain on back board; slight soiling to some pages; overall near fine.
