He loved to "go to wild places" to experience the wonders of nature. Alaska, like Yosemite in California, was one of Muir's favorite places. Alaska is where Muir came to visit wilderness after Yosemite became popular. The Chilkat Valley, where the City of Haines, Alaska now exists, was one of the favorite stops he made, largely because of the interaction he was able to have with the "Northern tribe," the Chilkat Tlingits. The Chilkat Tlingits still live in Haines and the beautiful Chilkat Valley.

    Extractions: My First Summer in the Sierra By the end of the first eighty-five pages of My First Summer in the Sierra , we know what is important and endearing about John Muir. It is not his bravado (though his courage and energy puts almost all of us to shame), but his acts of surrender. He came into the mountains light as a banty rooster, and with what might be called an empty mind. He was a clean slate on which each detail of Sierran beauty (which, I know from my own wanderings there, is limitless) was cleanly etched. He could only absorb and absorb, and the capaciousness of his spirit was such that it knew no surfeit.

    Extractions: September 9 . Weariness rested away and I feel eager and ready for another excursion a month or two long in the same wonderful wilderness. Now, however, I must turn toward the lowlands, praying and hoping Heaven will shove me back again. The most telling thing learned in these mountain excursions is the influence of cleavage joints on the features sculptured from the general mass of the range. Evidently the denudation has been enormous, while the inevitable outcome is subtle balanced beauty. Comprehended in general views, the features of the wildest landscape seem to be as harmoniously related as the features of a human face. Indeed, they look human and radiate spiritual beauty, divine thought, however covered and concealed by rock and snow. September September (Quercus Californica) . Lovely evening, the lake reflections after dark marvelously impressive. September 12. Cloudless day, all pure sun-gold. Among the magnificent silver firs once more, within two miles of the brink of Yosemite, at the famous Portuguese bear camp. Chaparral of goldcup oak, manzanita, and ceanothus abundant hereabouts, wanting about the Tuolumne meadows, although the elevation is but little higher there. The two-leaved pine, though far more abundant about the Tuolumne meadow region, reaches its greatest size on stream-sides hereabouts and around meadows that are rather boggy. All the best dry ground is taken by the magnificent silver fir, which here reaches its greatest size and forms a well-defined belt. A glorious tree. Have fine bed of its boughs to-night.

    Extractions: In California, he worked as a naturalist and a writer, and became famous in both the political and scientific communities for his passionate essays on nature. He was an absorbing and fascinating talker, a self-described "poetico-trampo-geologist- botanist and ornith-natural etc." In 1892, he founded the Sierra Club, and gave over the labors of his life to the protection of wilderness. Muir had traveled to Alaska on extended expeditions in 1879-1880 and in 1890. He was a recognized authority on glaciers there; in Glacier Bay, one of the largest glaciers was already named for him. It was this expertise in glaciology, along with his broad background in nature study, that prompted Harriman to invite him to join the expedition. As well as being a knowledgeable naturalist, Muir was a legendary story-teller. He proved congenial company, although he was known to tease Burroughs a little too often. He collected botanical samples with the others, but would not shoot animals. All the specimen collecting, in fact distressed him. "Alaska's dwindling resources and wildlife could not afford many more such attacks in the name of science," he wrote.

    Extractions: John Muir was born in Dunbar, Scotland, in 1838 and died in Los Angeles, California, in 1914. His family emigrated to Wisconsin in 1849 to work a series of hardscrabble farms under the direction of a religious zealot father, whose fire and brimstone was tempered by a loving and good humored mother. He studied the natural sciences at the University of Wisconsin, but did not take a degree. After recovering from blindness caused by an industrial accident in 1868, he began 40 years of intermittent wandering in the wilderness of North America, which produced some of the best nature writing in the English language. His works include The Mountains of California, Our National Parks, My First Summer in the Sierra, Steep Trails, Stickeen, and others. Muir's great contribution to wilderness preservation was to successfully promote the idea that wilderness had spiritual as well as economic value. This revolutionary idea was possible only because Muir was able to publish everything he wrote in the four principal monthly magazines read by the American middle class in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ( Scribner's, Atlantic Monthly, Harper's

    Extractions: John Muir (1838-1914) was a naturalist, explorer, and writer who is most widely known for his part in the early efforts save wilderness areas and wildlife from commercial exploitation and destruction. Less widely known is the role he played in developing a "religion of Nature" which drew on Native American beliefs about the natural world and Protestant Christianity. His work on preserving wilderness and his development of nature-based religious beliefs were not separate or distinct - both relied upon his vision that all of life was interconnected. He wanted humanity to develop a new relationship with nature which focused less on how nature could be used for personal gain and more recognizing the inherent unity we have with it. Moreover, Muir came to regard nature as fundamentally holy in and of itself because it revealed the handiwork and nature of God. Muir's religion eliminated the need for any outside redeemer for humanity, something which brought him into conflict with many traditional-minded Christians of his time. Despite this, today many Protestant groups in the Ameican West have adopted many facets of Muir's "Deep Ecology" perspective.

He intentionally selected Indianapolis as a suitable place to live and work, not simply because Osgood and Smith manufacturing would make good use of his talents in machine invention, but, more importantly, because the city's surroundings would allow him to pursue his interests in botany. forest that once covered the entire area.

    Extractions: John Muir John Muir nasceu escocês e migrou com a família para os EUA em 1849. Em 1868, depois de uma viagem pelo leste dos EUA, Cuba e Panamá, Muir chega à Califórnia, onde, no mesmo ano, conhece o lugar que influenciaria toda a sua vida - a Sierra Nevada, mais especificamente, o Vale do Yosemite. Consciente da importância e da fragilidade desse vale, que se encontrava ameaçado pela criação de ovelhas, Muir se envolveria pessoalmente na luta pela criação do Parque Nacional de Yosemite em 1890. Os primeiros Parques Nacionais surgiram com o objetivo de preservar alguma curiosidade cênica ou natural, como aconteceu com os famosos gêiseres de Yellowstone, o primeiro Parque a ser criado no mundo em 1872. John Muir teve um papel fundamental na mudança dessa perspectiva, ao propor a preservação de áreas naturais com o foco em seus aspectos ambientais, científicos e educacionais. Muir reconhecia a importância dos ecossistemas e suas inter-relações para a manutenção da vida no planeta, ao mesmo tempo que via o homem como parte do mundo natural, e não o centro dele.
