Description:
[x], 74 pp. (8vo) original tan cloth lettered in brown on front and spine, dust jacket.
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
