STORY OF JOHN MUIR
WHO ONCE RESIDED
NEAR PORTAGE WIS

John Muir one of the greatest ma
turalists of the country, was born in
Dunbar, Scotland, one of family Of
eight children. When he was II the
family decided to try their luck in the
new world, SO they came to the Uni
ted States and pushed as far west as
Wisconsin. All this was wild land in
those days. John Muir and his bro
theirs helped clear a farm from the
wilderness and it is likely that the flu
ture great mans love of flowers and
plants developed then.
He managed after a time to get a
college education, then he promptly dis
appeared into the wilderness, showing
up at long intervals to work ON farms
long enough to earn money for bread
then he would disappear again.
Tramping always, he went through
the west and Canada studying the
plant life, down through the east to
Florida and Cuba, over Panama and
up into California, finally settling in
the YOSEMITE valley. Here he started
a mill to make his living, while he
classified notes taken on his long
wanderings. He guided Emerson
through the YOSEMITE and Emerson
wrote of him HE is more wonderful
than Thoreau.'
Professorships were offered him, but
he always refused, preferring a life
among wild nature and study to teach
ing. He made particular study of the
glacial period and found sixty five
small residual glaciers on High Sierra.

PIONEER DOCTOR REMOVED
ARM FROM FARMER WITH A
CARPENTERS SAW-HE LIVED

The life of the pioneer is often
pictured in rosy light. In the Wis
consin Magazine of History John
Reeve gives another view of the life
of a doctor in pioneer Wisconsin.
DIR. Reeve located in Dodge county in
1849 and practiced there until 1853.
On one occasion he became lost in
the woods while trying to visit a pa
tient and spent a drizzly night as
best he could. The settlers were
almost uniformly poor, and money
could be found even for the most es-
sential needs only with great Difficult
ty. In the first year of practice Dr.
Reeve received in cash the sum of
sos. OF roads there were none, al
though Sin two direction. there were
what were called such, the trees be-
ing cut away and some of the stumps
removed One of the writer's COM
petitors was an "herb Doctor who
proudly affirmed that he never gave
any mineral medicine except the iron
in the cast STEEL soap which he used
in pill-making. But the man had
other accomplishments, for having
doctored the wife of a settler until
her death, he then proceeded to make
a coffin, and ended by preaching the
funeral sermon! Although DR.. Reeve
was not a surgeon, he on one occa-
sion amputated farmers arm, using
carpenters saw for the operation
The patient survived the crude oper-
alton, proof perhaps Of his vitality
more than of the skill of the doctor.
