Abstract:

In the spring of 1867, after recovering from a serious eye injury, John Muir was trekking across western North Carolina. He was a young man of twenty-nine, and his great fame as a conservationist lay years ahead of him. He recorded his travel experiences across the postwar South in THOUSAND-MILE WALK TO THE GULF, published in 1916. Nickens retraces Muir's journey through what is now the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.
