Read the following passage from Muir's "Calypso Borealis" and respond to the prompt. [1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage (Wisconsin), I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising
in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash,
elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like
bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts
displayed in boundless profusion.
[2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been
fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's
way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass,
struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground
before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees
or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.
