HERBERT W. GLEASON83 PINCKNEY STREET BOSTON, MASS.ILLUSTRATED LECTURESAlaskaThe Canadian AlpsYellowstone ParkIn Thoreau's Country Wild Flowers of the Rockies Bird Life Etc.Boston, Dec. 18, 1907.My dear Mr. Muir:I fear you will set me down as a worthless kind of muggins to be so neglectful of the promise which I gave you that Mrs. G. and I would call and see you again before we left California.

This was my first sight of them, and I took off my hat in adoration. No temple made by man, however stately and beautiful, has begun to inspire within me the reverence which I felt when I first gazed upon these forest giants.
