    Extractions: In California, he worked as a naturalist and a writer, and became famous in both the political and scientific communities for his passionate essays on nature. He was an absorbing and fascinating talker, a self-described "poetico-trampo-geologist- botanist and ornith-natural etc." In 1892, he founded the Sierra Club, and gave over the labors of his life to the protection of wilderness. Muir had traveled to Alaska on extended expeditions in 1879-1880 and in 1890. He was a recognized authority on glaciers there; in Glacier Bay, one of the largest glaciers was already named for him. It was this expertise in glaciology, along with his broad background in nature study, that prompted Harriman to invite him to join the expedition. As well as being a knowledgeable naturalist, Muir was a legendary story-teller. He proved congenial company, although he was known to tease Burroughs a little too often. He collected botanical samples with the others, but would not shoot animals. All the specimen collecting, in fact distressed him. "Alaska's dwindling resources and wildlife could not afford many more such attacks in the name of science," he wrote.

He intentionally selected Indianapolis as a suitable place to live and work, not simply because Osgood and Smith manufacturing would make good use of his talents in machine invention, but, more importantly, because the city's surroundings would allow him to pursue his interests in botany. forest that once covered the entire area. He wandered the fields and woodlands for early morning walks, studying the plant and tree species

    Extractions: Theodore Roosevelt Born in the coastal town of Dunbar, Scotland, John Muir's family moved to the United States when he was a boy of eleven. Muir would develop such a deep love for that country's wilderness that he would become "Father of the American Natural Parks," and one of the most famous and influential naturalists worldwide. As a young boy, Muir worked alongside his father and brother on the family farm in Wisconsin. During the brief breaks allowed him by his strict and religious father, Muir would explore the surrounding countryside and work on his inventions. The contraptions he created out of hickory wood caught the attention of the state university, and the self-educated young man earned a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin. After three years at university, Muir went traveling and worked at odd-jobs for a while, until an accident in a carriage shop where he was working threatened to blind him. Muir regained his sight, but the injury proved to be a turning point for him. He began to pursue his interest in naturalism, beginning with a 1000 mile walk from Indianapolis to the Gulf of Mexico. Muir traveled to Cuba and Panama, ending up in California in 1868. Here, he worked as a shepherd for a while, but soon began exploring the Yosemite Valley and Sierras. It may not have been apparent at the time, but Muir had found the cause that would make him famous.

    Extractions: JOHN MUIR was a naturalist, an author and an adventurer. He loved to "go to wild places" go experience the wonders of nature. 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.

    Extractions: My First Summer in the Sierra By the end of the first eighty-five pages of My First Summer in the Sierra , we know what is important and endearing about John Muir. It is not his bravado (though his courage and energy puts almost all of us to shame), but his acts of surrender. He came into the mountains light as a banty rooster, and with what might be called an empty mind. He was a clean slate on which each detail of Sierran beauty (which, I know from my own wanderings there, is limitless) was cleanly etched. He could only absorb and absorb, and the capaciousness of his spirit was such that it knew no surfeit.

38. National Park Service: Biography (John Muir)
    Biographical Vignettes, John Muir 18381914 by PJ Ryan. John Muir was bornin Dunbar, Scotland, in 1838 and died in Los Angeles, California, in 1914.  
    http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/sontag/muir.htm
    
    Extractions: 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
