... that famed naturalist and author John Muir passed through Kingston on Sept. 12, 1867, on his legendary walk to the Gulf of Mexico? He wrote about it:

Obtained breakfast in a clean house and began the descent of the mountains. Obtained fine views of a wide, open country, and distant flanking ridges and spurs.
