William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

Muir's discourse on rattlesnakes is excerpted from Our National Parks, no. 237, pp. 63-64, 204-210. Illustrating the story is a large drawing of Muir in mountain attire, about to stamp on a coiled rattle snake. There are also three small inset drawings showing his other encounters with rattlers. A current picture of Muir and a laudatory review of Our National Parks by Edwin Markham complete the make- up of the page.
