Preserving The Green (John Muir)
Introduction John Muir was a naturalist, writer, inventor, traveler, and organizer whose language helped make wilderness preservation a national political cause. The original biography correctly identifies his Scottish birth, Wisconsin childhood, industrial accident, Sierra Nevada experience, Sierra Club leadership, relationship with Theodore Roosevelt, and campaign against the Hetch Hetchy dam. It overstates his sole responsibility for the National Park System, gives the wrong age at death, and treats conservation history
