Edité par Dunbar's John Muir Association, Dunbar, 2000

c2000. ii, 25pp. B&W illustrations and maps. "John Muir emigrated to Wisconsin in the United States of America at the age of eleven. He settled in California in his mature years, after a period of travel and exploration. There he played a crucial role in creating Yosemite National Park. He fought to save the Giant Redwood trees of California and the forests and alpine meadows of the Sierra Nevada from foresters and graziers. He was a founder of the Sierra Club in 1892 and the first President. Now it is the premier conservation body in California. From this position, his writing challenged Establishment figures of the United States to act positively in the emergent conservation debate of the late nineteenth century".
