This is a unique study of the oral and literary history of Muir's now infamous adventure and the first time the original version has been published. Using handwritten annotations from Muir's journals, historian Limbaugh discusses the style, content, and sources for the story, as well as its placement in the context of some of the major conerns of the era, particularly the Darwinian debates and the emerging animal rights movement.
