Book excerpt: Travels in Alaska In the late 1800s, John Muir produced several trips to the pristine, fairly unexplored territory of Alaska, irresistibly drawn to its awe-inspiring glaciers and its wild menagerie of bears, bald eagles, wolves, and whales. Half-poet and half-geologist, he documented his encounters and reflections in Travels in Alaska, a function he has been in the procedure of finishing at the period of his dying in 1914. As Edward Hoagland writes in his Intro, "A hundred years and a quarter later on, we are reading through [Muir's] accounts because there in the glorious fiords . . . he will be at our elbow, nudging us along, prompting us to understand that heaven will be on earth-may be the Earth-and rapture will be the sensible reaction wherever a clear collection of sight remains."
