[pct-l] Stickeen

[Edward Anderson]

Jomike,

One book where you can find Muir's story of his adventure with the dog Stickeen 
is "The Wilderness World of John Muir". It is a collection of John Muir's 
writings with an introduction and interpretive comments by Edwin Way Teale. 
Published by The Wilderness Cambridge. The first chapter is about Muir's 
Memories of Youth.  The last chapter is a collection of Muir's writings 
reflecting his Philosophy. I am excerpting the following quote from Muir: 

   "This grand show is eternal.  It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is 
never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling;  vapor is ever rising.  
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and 
continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."

All of this book is wonderful inspiration - all who would journey on the PCT 
will enjoy this read.

Scott,
You mentioned Muir's story of his adventure on the Alaskan glacier with the dog 
Stickeen. That is a?favorite to me.? I have read it several times over the years 

and have read it aloud?to my kids and others.? I want to recommend it to all of 
my PCT hiker friends.
