Muir (John) Correspondence

Owning Institution: UC Berkeley, Bancroft Library

About this Collection

This collection consists of digital images of the
correspondence of John Muir from 1856-1914. The vast majority of the letters were
sent and received by Muir, although the collection also includes some correspondence
of selected family members and colleagues. Muir’s correspondence offers a unique
first-hand perspective on his thoughts and experiences, as well as those of his
correspondents, which include many notable figures in scientific, literary, and
political circles of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The correspondence forms
part of the John Muir Papers microfilm set that filmed letters located at over 35
institutions.
