[Kimes 379] Linnie Marsh Wolfe (1881-1945) was a librarian and closely associated with the John Muir Association. Wolfe was asked by William Frederic Bade, Literary Executor of John Muir's works, to edit John Muir's unpublished journals. Wolfe worked with Wanda Muir Hanna, Muir's daughter, to review and arrange Muir's archives and select portions for this book. John Muir (1838-1914) was a well-known naturalist, preservationist, author, founder of the Sierra Club. His writings and advocacy to Congress led to establish Yosemite as a National Park in 1890, but, unlike Yellowstone, under California State control. Over the next decade, Muir founded the Sierra Club to promote environmental protections to wilderness areas, wrote several books on his travels and developed influence with government and business leaders.

< Back January 13, 2023 Watermark identification using catalogs, databases, and library holdings Previous Next A watermark is a distinguishing mark or design incorporated in paper during the making. The mark may be incorporated by die impression or rolling, or by variation in the mesh used for making laid paper. The mark varies in thickness and is thus translucent and visible when the paper is illuminated from the verso. Watermarks have been used in fine book papers for centuries, worldwide, and now can serve as bibliographic points to identify editions or states of a book. Bibliophiles and booksellers can access resources that catalog, codify, and identify watermarks by image, symbol, figure, text, coats of arms, etc. The following Web sites are in various languages.
