Our National Parks

Boston: Houghton Mifflin.

Hardcover. Near Fine. Early printing, with no date on title page, slightly enlarged from the first edition.

An lovely copy, with very mild bumping to the corners. Gilt lettering and design remain bright, binding tight and square. A collection of Muir's essays from the Atlantic Monthly, explicitly intended to increase public awareness of the value and beauty of the National Parks and thus the necessity of preserving them from development.
