NY, Knopf, 1945. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for biography, and the first full-length biography of the conservationist and co-founder of the Sierra Club. Inscribed by Wolfe with a quote by Muir, on July 20, 1945. Wolfe had previously edited John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir, published in 1938. She died less than two months after this inscription; her Pulitzer was awarded posthumously. This is a very good copy with faded boards and light tanning to the pages, in a poor, first issue dust jacket (1-45 date code on rear flap and explanation of wartime printing standards on rear panel) that is edgeworn, price-clipped and in four separate pieces, now laid into the book. Rare signed. [#036853] $400
