The Finest Of The Glacier Meadow Gardens

To The Lover Of Pure Wildness Alaska Is One Of The Most Wonderful Countries In The World.

Thousands Of Tired, Nerve-shaken, Over-civilized People Are Beginning To Find Out That Going To The Mountains Is Going Home; That Wildness Is A Necessity.

The Groves And Thickets Of Smaller Trees Are Full Of Blooming Evergreen Vines. These Vines Are Not Arranged In Separate Groups, Or In Delicate Wreaths, But In Bossy Walls And Heavy, Mound-like Heaps And Banks. Am Made To Feel That I Am Now In A Strange Land. I Know Hardly Any Of The Plants, But Few Of The Birds, And I Am Unable To See The Country For The Solemn, Dark, Mysterious Cypress Woods Which Cover Everything.

Any Fool Can Destroy Trees, They Cannot Run Away.

I Ran Home In The Moonlight With Firm Strides; For The Sun-love Made Me Strong.
