John Muir and Wisconsin (The above picture reproduced from sierraclub.org. Picture John Muir, (1838-1914), was a American naturalist, explorer, and writer. He was an influential conservationist, who worked to preserve wilderness areas and wildlife from commercial exploitation and destruction. His efforts helped to establish Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park, both in California. Muir was born in Scotland in 1838. His family immigrated to the United States in 1849 when he was 11 years old and settled on a farm near Portage, Wisconsin. "The Story of My Boyhood and Youth " describes his early years in rural Montello. Muir attended the University of Wisconsin from 1860 to 1863 but did not graduate. When he left college, he took extensive walking trips to study nature, especially plants. In 1867 he made a walking trip from Indianapolis to the Gulf of Mexico to observe the plants, animals, and physical features of the country. During this trip Muir kept extensive journals, which were published after his death as

Tour Scotland Home Page Click Here for: Scottish Cooking or Recipes Best Scottish Books or Scottish Music Small Group Tours Of Scotland John Muir John Muir - farmer, inventor, sheepherder, naturalist, explorer, writer, and conservationist - was born on April 21, 1838 in Dunbar, Scotland. Until the age of eleven he attended the local schools of that small coastal town. In 1849, the Muir family emigrated to the United States, settling first at Fountain Lake and then moving to Hickory Hill Farm near Portage, Wisconsin. Muir's father was a harsh disciplinarian and worked his family from dawn to dusk. Whenever they were allowed a short period away from the plow and hoe, Muir and his younger brother would roam the fields and woods of the rich Wisconsin countryside. John became more and more the loving observer of the natural word. He also became an inventor, a carver of curious but practical mechanisms in wood. He made clocks that kept accurate time and created a wondrous device that tipped him out of bed before dawn. In 1860, Muir took his inventions to the state fair at Madison, where he won admiration and prizes. Also that year he entered the University of Wisconsin. He made fine grades, but after three years left Madison to travel the northern United States and Canada, odd-jobbing his way through the yet unspoiled land.

section="reviews" Book Review by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat John Muir: America's Naturalist Thomas Locker Fulcrum Publishing 05/03 Hardcover $17.95 ISBN 1555913938 "The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried up at once; a shower is always falling; vapor ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls." Let these poetic words sink into your consciousness and stew a while in your heart. They were written by John Muir (1838-1914), founder of the Sierra Club and an advocate of the preservation of wilderness through a national parks system. In this simple but sensuous tribute to the naturalist, children's writer and illustrator Thomas Locker treats us to some of the scenic splendors of California and Alaska. Muir was born in Scotland and raised in Wisconsin, but his soul came fully alive when he arrived in Yosemite, California. There the beauty of the meadows and the groves of ancient trees took his breath away, and he was never the same. Locker best conveys Muir's attitude of wonder in a painting of him standing on the limbs high up in a Douglas fir. What is he doing there? Trying to experience the full shock and glory of a storm. Muir loved the wildness in the wilderness, whether a storm in California or the dangerous ice in Alaska. The book includes an introduction by Dr. Edgar Wayburn, past president of the Sierra Club.

78. America's Wilderness : The Photographs Of Ansel Adams With The Writings Of John John Muir 18381914 Farmer, inventor, sheepherder (later opposing this activitydue to its destruction of mountain meadows and forests), naturalist, http://www.2think.org/adams.shtml

America's Wilderness The Photographs of Ansel Adams With the Writings of John Muir "Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life." (p. 75) In a nicely done coffee-table style book, big and beautiful black-and-white photographs of the famous photographer Ansel Adams are combined with snippets from nature writer John Muir. The pictures are from national parks ranging from Montana to Californiawith many in between. The photographs usually take up about 90% or more of each page so Muir's writings aren't really the focal point of the book. They do add a very nice touch to the overall feeling and flavor though. Since Muir's words weren't penned specifically for the photos or scenes displayed (Muir died only 12 years after Adams was born) they aren't always completely applicable. This isn't altogether a bad thing. When Muir is describing the appearance of an animal, the song of a bird, and the brilliant colors of a scene while you are staring at a black and white photo apparently devoid of any animal life, the imagination kicks in, and Adams' photographs take on a whole new life. From the publisher: A tribute to our national parks and the foresight of those who sought to preserve those wild spaces. Quotes from noted naturalist John Muir, who started the conservation movement with the founding of the Sierra Club in 1892, are paired with Ansel Adams's evocative photographs of Grand Canyon National Park
