Autorenporträt
John Muir (1838-1914) was a Scottish-born American naturalist, writer, and advocate of US forest conservation. As early as 1876 Muir urged the federal government to adopt a forest conservation policy. In 1890, due in large part to Muir's efforts, an act of Congress created Yosemite National Park. In 1892 Muir and a number of his supporters founded the Sierra Club, an organization devoted to protecting the environment. Muir was instrumental in establishing Sequoia National Park, the Petrified Forest, Muir Woods National Monument, and Grand Canyon National Park. John Muir died in 1914, at the age of seventy-six. His writings continue to serve as sources of inspiration for naturalists and conservationists the world over and remain important works in the body of literature on America's natural history.
