John Muir Quotes

He Was One Of The Most Sincere Tree-lovers I Ever Knew. About Twenty Years Before His Death He Made Choice Of A Plot In The Yosemite Cemetery On The North Side Of The Valley, Not Far From The Yosemite Fall, And Selecting A Dozen Or So Of Seedling Sequoias In The Mariposa Grove He Brought Them To The Valley And Planted Them Around The Spot He Had Chosen For His Last Rest. The Ground There Is Gravelly And Dry; By Careful Watering He Finally Nursed Most Of The Seedlings Into Good, Thrifty Trees, And Doubtless They Will Long Shade The Grave Of Their Blessed Lover And Friend.
