>"thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field will be at peace with thee." In this world where men are afraid they will catch cold, afraid they will lose their way, afraid they will be eaten by bears or bitten by snakes or touch poison ivy or fall over a log, John Muir, faring forth into the wilderness unarmed and alone, was the man unafraid. He was unafraid of danger, of hardship, of wildness, of being alone, of facing death. He was unafraid of public opinion. He was unafraid of work and poverty and hunger. He knew them all and remained unafraid.
