John Muir
John Muir is a naturalist, an advocate of U.S. forest conservation who was largely responsible for the establishment of Sequoia and Yosemite national parks in California. Muir's article on Yosemite appeared in the 10th edition of the Encyclopędia Britannica.

Muir emigrated from Scotland with his family to a farm near Portage, Wis., in 1849. After attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he worked on mechanical inventions. In 1867, when an industrial accident nearly cost him an eye, he abandoned that career and devoted himself to nature.
