This 1913 autobiography traces Muir's ever-growing fondness for "wild places and wild creatures." Beginning with his boyhood days in Scotland, he then picks up with his first experiences of America—where his family moved in 1849. Muir also describes his early adulthood, when, as he puts it, he left "the University of Wisconsin for the University of the Wilderness."
