Oddly enough, your posting of this article coincides with the events where King and Brewer tried ardently to discredit Muir in the biography of John Muir I'm reading. Apparently they didn't appreciate his idea of glacially formed geology.

The sciences were cutthroat back then.

Sorry if this detracts for how exceptionally romantic the background of May lake is.
