1903- AC photographs John Muir for Camera Craft




At the same time that Arthur C. was taking the train to Tahoe to build his own skiis and wrote the article about the beauties of Tahoe in the winter he took this picture of John Muir holding up a branch of Mountain's Heart Ease, an illustration for an article appeared in the same year in Camera Craft.
His name is in tiny print next to the lower edge of the photo.

Later, AC would become the photographer who went with the Sierra Club on its yearly ventures back into the wildernesses of Yosemite. When the Kids arrives they would accompany him, having a great time.

The photo and its subject matter show that AC and Muir knew each other in 1900.
