Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. At this stage a man of cool, determined appearance who was evidently a leader of great influence in the town, sprang out of the store window on to a platform elevated a few feet above the crowd, and mounting a box, addressed the mob and soon had their attention. He told them that in appointing the jury they had virtually agreed to abide by the verdict it rendered, and a refusal now to do so would be highly dishonorable and insulting to the jury they had appointed, and that he would not answer for the future safety of any man or set of men who might interfere with the execution of that verdict.

Then a man who had been appointed to administer the penalty advanced holding a broad leather strap which had been split at one end into narrow strands until it resembled an ugly cat-o'-nine-tails and with that dealt slowly, but with great force, blow after blow, till the blood trickled from a dozen gashes and the poor fellow, though he uttered 136 not a word, moaned and writhed with pair, which evidently touched the heart of the scourger, for the last twenty blows were light and fell where there were no wounds. When the full punishment had been administered he was released and told that within one hour he must leave the town never to return to it. Two men escorted him to a cabin in which he had been staying and washed and dressed his wounds, and though it was then quite dark, started him for a mining camp three miles west. The incident seemed barbarous, but the miners were in most communities compelled to take the law into their own hands and administer severe punishment for...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJohn Muir, a young Scottish immigrant, had not yet become a famed conservationist when he first trekked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, not long after the Civil War. He was so captivated by what he saw that he decided to devote his life to the glorification and preservation of this magnificent wilderness. "My First Summer in the Sierra," whose heart is the diary Muir kept while tending sheep in Yosemite country, enticed thousands of Americans to visit this magical place, and resounds with Muir's regard for the "divine, enduring, unwasteable wealth" of the natural world. A classic of environmental literature, "My First Summer in the Sierra" continues to inspire readers to seek out such places for themselves and make them their own.

When he came to California and finally settled in San Francisco, John Muir immediately left for a visit to Yosemite, a place he had only read about.

He climbed a number of mountains, including Cathedral Peak and Mount Dana, and hiked the old Indian trail down Bloody Canyon to Mono Lake.

John Muir (1838 - 1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is a prominent American conservation organization.
