“In January 1876, Muir gave his first public lecture on glaciers and forests in Sacramento, California. He was extremely nervous about making the speech, so artist and friend William Keith gave Muir a mountain landscape to take on stage with him. Keith told Muir that if he looked at the painting, he would forget his nervousness. This strange idea helped Muir overcome his fear and the speech was a great success” (Warrick 62).
