About This Item

Publisher's tartar cloth with morocco spine label. Long, yes poignant inscription from former owner. Scarce in the trade and OCLC only records 4 copies. Poems entitled "Wawona"; "Sequoias"; "Avalon"; My [Central] Valley; "the Voice of the Water in the Muntains-Night in the Yosemite" speaks of the author's places of power. The 21 photographic illustrations all concern the poems. Other poems of interest are "Eucalyptus" and "Flight" (showing an airplane in 1910). C. E. Jenney was a resident of Fresno for 30 years (thus his fondess for the High Sierra and Central Valley) and was a naturalist who wrote a number of [forgotten] books.
