John Muir: The Scotsman who Saved America's Wild Places, Second Edition
About this ebook
Born in Scotland and raised in a strict religious home, Muir found freedom in nature. After immigrating to the United States, he became an explorer, writer, naturalist, and environmental activist whose journeys through Yosemite and the American West changed public attitudes toward the natural world.
In this expanded biography, Mary Colwell reveals the faith, vision, and adventurous spirit behind one of the most influential environmentalists in American history and shows why John Muir's legacy matters more than ever in an age of climate change and ecological loss.
