Inscribed by John Muir on the front free endpaper. Muir's true story of what happened on an Alaskan glacier with a dog named Stickeen, is one of Muir's best-known writings. In 1880, Muir made a trip to Alaska with a friend's dog, Stickeen, exploring Brady Glacier which empties into Taylor Bay in what is now Glacier Bay National Park. Stickeen has been ranked as a classic dog story since its publication. Muir wrote, "I have known many dogs, and many a story I could tell of their wisdom and devotion; but to none do I owe so much as to Stickeen. Our storm-battle for life brought him to light, and through him as through a window I have ever since been looking with deeper sympathy into all my fellow mortals." Extremely rare in the original dust jacket. BAL 14759
