A Passion for Nature: Thomas Jefferson and Natural History (Monticello Monograph) [Paperback] Keith Thomson (Author) 
Well, I went to Amazon to link the book I'm reading, bio of Muir, and there's another one with same title about Jefferson, that's now on the must read list!
quote
Returning from Ft. Wrangle, Muir had to take leave of his small companion, never to see him again. But he went away realizing, more than ever, that being kind to animals, avoiding needless cruelty to them, was only the first step to a new ethic."

On arrival at the GG House, I used the GG Library for internet, checked the book out, and took some pics of Pond and Birds about, and surprised to see Two Night Herons!...pics up... Pond is very nice, with a little trickling artificial Stream.
The sound of falling and running Water is a kinda universal, and I mean in the entire universe on Planets with Atmosphere like ours, a kinda universal tone, sound, note, like middle c on the Piano. WOW has great Water sounds...hereabout, I can go to the Ocean and listen to Waves, which the Falls reminded me of--like at Huntington Beach Pier which has a shallow sloping Beach, so Waves are continuously breaking...maybe after nap I'll go there this Evening!
