John Muir's California

John Muir's California

Welcome to a virtual photo gallery of images related to California. As you look at these images, you should imagine yourself standing in the lobby of the Lamson Library at Plymouth State College, Plymouth, NH, viewing a collection of 11x14 photos of places in California that are special to me and also to John Muir. The library exhibit was on view from June to the middle of July, 1996. This exhibit will be here much longer. The exhibit is broken up into the areas listed below. Good viewing
