All expeditions have two
lives. The first, of course, is the trip itself, the second,
the record of what was found along the way. Few Alaskan
expeditions left as complete a record as the 1899 Harriman
trip, with its lavish souvenir albums, twelve published
volumes, thousands of specimens, sketches, and
photographs. Birchbark

penitential promises. Kill as few of your fellow
beings as possible and pursue some branch of
natural history at least far enough to see nature's
harmony. Don't forget me. God bless you. Good-bye.
Ever your friend, John Muir."
