Being the eldest of the Muir grandchildren, and my home in the early years being the Fountain Lake farm which my father bought from my Grandfather Muir in 1856, I have some quite clear recollections of Uncle John even before he went to Madison. For he used to come and visit my mother and I would trudge about with him as a little child will do. When I was about four years of age he made me a little wagon, and as I think back I am sure that it was all of wood; axles, wheels, tongue and all. It was my constant companion in all my solitary trips about the place hunting “pretty stones” and wild flowers. When “My Boyhood and Youth” came out, I got one, of course, and it brought back so many incidents
