John Muir by Janice Albert This bust of Muir is on the grounds of Villa Montalvo, Saratoga John Muir @ Sierra Club More California sites have been named for John Muir than for any other person, according to James Hart in his helpful book, A Companion to California. Among these are Muir Pass in King's Canyon National Park, Muir Grove in Sequoia National Park, Muir Gorge in Yosemite and Muir Trail through the High Sierra, as well as Muir Woods, a National Monument in Marin County protecting 485 acres of coast redwoods. In another sense, the existence of the national parks themselves is a monument to the memory of the man who cared for America's wilderness and who, through his writing and public speaking, made others care for it. Muir arrived in San Francisco on March 28, 1868, and set out to walk to Yosemite on April 1. He was thirty years old and had spent much of his life traveling through America on foot. As a young man, a student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, he had walked from Indiana to the Gulf of Mexico, keeping notes in his journal and developing his powers of observation of regional geology and botany. The story of this early walk was published from his edited journal two years after his death under the title A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf

National Park Service: The First 75 Years Biographical Vignettes John Muir by P. J. Ryan John Muir was born in Dunbar, Scotland, in 1838 and died in Los Angeles, California, in 1914. His family emigrated to Wisconsin in 1849 to work a series of hardscrabble farms under the direction of a religious zealot father, whose fire and brimstone was tempered by a loving and good humored mother. He studied the natural sciences at the University of Wisconsin, but did not take a degree. After recovering from blindness caused by an industrial accident in 1868, he began 40 years of intermittent wandering in the wilderness of North America, which produced some of the best nature writing in the English language. His works include The Mountains of California, Our National Parks, My First Summer in the Sierra, Steep Trails, Stickeen, and others. Muir's great contribution to wilderness preservation was to successfully promote the idea that wilderness had spiritual as well as economic value. This revolutionary idea was possible only because Muir was able to publish everything he wrote in the four principal monthly magazines read by the American middle class in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ( Scribner's, Atlantic Monthly, Harper's

Alaska, like Yosemite in California, was one of Muir's favorite places. Alaska is where Muir came to visit real wilderness after Yosemite became popular. The Chilkat Valley, where the City of Haines, Alaska now exists, was one of the favorite stops he made, largely because of the interaction he was able to have with the "Northern tribe," the Chilkat Tlingits. The Chilkat Tlingits still live in Haines and the beautiful Chilkat Valley.

Before the end of the voyage, however, he was persuaded that the States offered superior advantages, especially Wisconsin "He had found fine land for a farm in sunny, open woods on the side of a lake. Oh, that glorious Wisconsin wilderness. Here, without knowing it, we were still at school. Every wild lesson a love lesson, not whipped, but charmed into us.

This first contingent of the Muir family settled on virgin land, which they called Fountain Lake Farm, while John Muir's mother, Anne Gilrye Muir, and remaining four siblings waited in their native Dunbar, Scotland for word that the Wisconsin home was ready for them. Pioneer Wisconsin lit a fire of passion for wild things in Muir. The diverse landscape of Fountain Lake Farm held oak woods, prairie, wetland and glacial lake waters. Muir wrote about the experience in The Story of My Boyhood and Youth , and autobiographical account of his life in Scotland and Wisconsin. "This sudden splash into pure wildernessbaptism in Nature's warm heart how utterly happy it made us!" Muir writes. "Nature streaming into us, wooingly teaching her wonderful glowing lessons, so unlike the dismal grammar ashes and cinders so long thrashed into us. Here without knowing it we were still at school; every wild lesson a love lesson, not whipped but charmed into us. Oh, that glorious Wisconsin wilderness!"

He wrote favourable (whether commissioned, or not) articles concerning certain powerful people and their works; he was duly rewarded with a pension of £300 which allowed Addison to travel extensively throughout the continent for four years. With the victory at Blenheim , in 1704, Addison was commissioned to write The Campaign and this led to further political patronage; he was appointed as a Commissioner of Excise Taxes (the only significant taxes they had in those days). The job as a commissioner, presumably, took little of Addison's time and he was left to pursue his writing. While he had contributed to the Tatler (started by Steele in 1709), Addison started his own paper in 1711, the Spectator ("In the Spectator may be traced the foundations of all that is sound and healthy in modern English thought."

Muir's Tours John Muir John Muir - our namesake John Muir (1838-1914) is the founder of the modern world conservation movement. Over two hundred sites in the USA are named after him including Muir Woods, Muir Beach, Muir Glacier and the John Muir Trail through the High Sierra. Born in the fishing port of Dunbar, near Edinburgh, he developed an early awareness of the value of wild nature. At the age of eleven, he emigrated to the USA. He achieved fame as a botanist, geologist and glaciologist, amongst other things. He saw the damage that was being done to nature and predicted the sad state of affairs - the sanctuary of the wild places, lost forever. He pioneered what we now call Ecology. He led the campaign for the protection of Yosemite and deeply influenced various presidents in designating over 50 areas and 200 national monuments. Muir set up the Sierra Club, which today is one of the leading environmental campaigning organisations in the world. Campaigning and writing over one hundred years ago, Muir could not foresee ozone depletion, or global warming, but today his conservation imperative cuts to the heart of current concerns over the sustainability of the world's natural resources and systems.
