William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

The first lecture by John Muir was on ""The Geological Records of the Yosemite Valley Glaciers,"" which prompted the reporter to write that Muir ""fairly electrified his audience and over one hundred followed him on his climb up the Eagle Point trail to the Upper Yosemite Falls. This was fun for him for he leaps over the crags like a goat, but it must have been a hard road to travel for those unaccustomed to mountain exercise.""
