Synopsis

Explore and be inspired by larger-than-life men and women who have impacted the shaping of America and the world.

In 5 short weeks, Blackbird & Company Research Discovery Guides will walk students through the process of studying a significant person from history and composing an original biographical essay.

Born in 1838, John Muir was particularly devoted to the high cliffs, waterfalls, and ancient giant sequoia trees that, through his careful influence, were set aside as one of the first national parks in America?Yosemite. Here is the life story of the man who founded the Sierra Club, a conservation group that carries on his crucial work to this day.
