John Muir set off on his world tour in the late Spring of 1903. He started in New York before he traveled through Europe, across Russia, and visited China, India, sailed up the Red Sea, back to Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan, and Hawaii. He was issued a new passport in London. (John Muir Papers, Business and Legal documents)
