William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

In an interview at his home in Martinez, Muir relates his experiences of living in Yosemite Valley for a number of years, saying, "I became part of the nature around me, and love it as a brother and a friend. . . . But all is now changed. The floor of the Valley is now a cow pasture and corrals."
