    Serpents and Sheep: The Harriman Expedition, Alaska, and the Metaphoric Reconstruction of American Wilderness ↗
    Kaye Adkins
    Abstract

    This article examines one mechanism for the radical change in public perception of wilderness. The published papers of the Harriman Expedition, a scientific expedition at the end of the nineteenth century, are used to illustrate a process that I call "metaphoric reconstruction." I argue that conceptual metaphors are one of the tools through which texts and rhetorical contexts can be mutually transformative.
