Is anyone familiar with accounts of MT as naturalist? His descriptions of flora and fauna are as moving as John Muir's, ("Life on the Miss." chap. XXX, "First, there is the eloquence of silence...") with the added benefit of hilarity, ("A Tramp Abroad," Chap. XXII, on ants). He also wrote a brilliant essay about the incestuous behavior of Bees, but I don't have the citation. Just wondering if the naturalist side of MT has been explored. Jerry Vorpahl [log in to unmask]
