Rare with the dust jacket, however.** "Stickeen" is the true story of a little dog who heroically accompanies Author John Muir and his companion, Dr. S. Hall Young, on a number of explorations of Alaskan glaciers in the 1880's. It is considered a Classic Dog Story, and written for a young audience. This issue has no illustrations.** Author John Muir (1838-1914), lived the majority of his life and legacy in America, where he is famous as the forefather of environmental conservation, a strong voice behind creation of the National Parks, appreciation of the wilderness, and founder of the Sierra Club. These booksellers must note, however, that he was born in Scotland in the coastal village of Dunbar, East Lothian, a fishing village, south of Edinburgh to which we have travelled many times. A John Muir Museum is found there at his birthplace on the High Street. Warde & Haas, A Bruce Rogers Bibliography, No. 84., p.31 (Kennikat Press, 1968).
