Description: This is a rare and collectible copy of "The Yosemite" by John Muir, published in 1912 by The Century Company. The book is a hardcover, first edition, and first printing, with fold out maps and photographs. John Muir is a founding father of modern California, especially for his extensive involvement with nature and National Parks. He was the co-founder of The Sierra Club and was instrumental in the campaign to make Yosemite declared a National Park in 1890. His name endures with Muir Woods just north of San Francisco. The front cover has a great illustration. The top page ends are gold gilt. The binding is intact and shows some signs of wear and tear, which is expected given its age. The maps are crisp and complete, but do have some tears. This is a completely readable and enjoyable copy. Here is a Wikipedia link for Muir and his work and life in California. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir
