Note from the transcriber:
A phrase Muir uses that readers might doubt: “fountain range,” by which he means a mountainous area where rain or snow fall that is the source of water for a river or stream downslope. So it is not a typographical error for “mountain range”! Another odd phrase is “(something) is well worthy (something else)” rather than “well worth” or “well worthy of.” He uses this at least twice in this work.—jg
