I don't know how much of his writing is really about animals, but he did write a book about his dog.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-56295333716908067962009-03-10T12:17:00.000-05:002009-03-10T12:17:00.000-05:00I'm just reading some of John Muir's nature writin...I'm just reading some of John Muir's nature writing (again, not fiction.)

It's available at the Oread Ethnographic Collection at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. He is surprisingly charming, and completely bat---- crazy. But a pretty good writer. He had his students take pictures of him dressed up as an"Esquimaux" and once as a polar bear. He was the driving force behind the Panorama of North American Plants and Animals that caused such a scene at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. You can still see the Panorama in all its climate-controlled glory at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum. There's a slideshow and a narration by a local public radio host. It is strangely compelling.the designated knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587192044297208064noreply@blogger.com
