William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

Besides describing the various trails to the gold fields and their current conditions, Muir offers many practical suggestions on what to take and what not to take. His advice and directions for bread-making were considered important by the editor, for they are reprinted in large type in a framed inset with the title ""How the Prospector Should Make His Bread.""
