Happy Birthday John Muir and while your at it Have a Great Earth Day

THANKS WIKIPEDIA/WIKIMEDIA/YouTube

John Muir (1838-1914) was America's most famous and influential naturalist and conservationist, and founder of the Sierra Club. This website, known as the "John Muir Exhibit" features his life and contributions.

  In his life, Muir published six volumes of writings, all describing explorations of natural settings. Four additional books were published posthumously. Several books were subsequently published that collected essays and articles from various sources.

  2. When they were both old, Emerson visited him, and Muir had looked forward to a good talk, but wrote that Emerson was in the hands of handlers who made his decision for him, apparently to keep him on schedule. Anyway, the visit was little more than a handshake, making me think that, perhaps, Emerson was getting a little senile.
