This inspiring biography brings to life the full sweep of Muir's remarkable story, from his birth in 1838 through a life spent in devoted service to the natural world. Back matter includes an epilogue, a bibliography, and information about the Sierra Club's ongoing work.John Muir loved the land. Born in 1838, he was a writer, scholar, inventor, shepherd, farmer, and explorer. Above all, he was a naturalist. This is the story of the man whose deep devotion to the high cliffs, ancient sequoias, and majestic waterfalls of Yosemite helped protect it as one of America's first national parks.
