THIS LITTLE BOOK
Is Affectionately Dedicated
•
In this book, made up of sketches first published in the Atlantic Monthly, I have done the best I could to show forth the beauty, grandeur, and all-embracing usefulness of our wild mountain forest reservations and parks, with a view to inciting the people to come and enjoy them, and get them into their hearts, that so at length their preservation and right use might be made sure.

The electronic text for Our National Parks was acquired from the Library of Congress web server under the Evolution of the Conservation Movement section of their American Memory Web site. It has been corrected for the John Muir Writings.
Corrections were made in 1997 by Dan Anderson from a copy of the c. (1901) reprint borrowed from the UCSD Library; the appendix (in the c. (1901) reprint) and illustrations were also added. The c. (1901) reprint, is not identified as such from the title pages, but can be identified from the dates in the appendix.
