Restless Fires provides a detailed rendering of John Muirs 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 Muirs 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 humankinds 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 Muirs 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.
