Restless Fires provides a detailed rendering of John Muir's
thousand-mile walk to the Gulf based on both manuscript and
published accounts. Muir experienced delight in seeing nature anew
after recovering from partial blindness due to a factory accident.
This is one of the first books on John Muir's thousand-mile walk
that places his journey in the context of the Civil War and
Reconstruction, to which Muir gave only passing witness. Through
these experiences and reflections, Muir came to radical views
regarding humankind's relationship to nature, death, and faith.
Muir suffered hunger, felt pangs of loneliness, slept five days in
a cemetery, slogged through swamps, and nearly died of malaria. The
legacy of this walk is found in Muir's perceptive insights
generated in part by his background and reading, and by his
experience with the Southern environment and its people and plants
during the walk. His journal gives evidence of a young man
resolving what he wants to do with his life.
