John Muir

    Many people try to protect nature now, but 100 years ago, few people thought about it. John Muir helped to change that. Muir was born in Scotland. Later he moved with his family to a farm in Wisconsin. He loved nature. He also loved to invent things. In 1867, an accident almost cost him an eye. Muir gave up inventing. That same year he began a 1,000-mile walk to the Gulf of Mexico. Later he wrote a book about the plants and animals he saw. In 1868, he went to the Yosemite Valley in California. He spent six years exploring this part of the West. Muir became convinced that the government needed to save areas of great beauty. In 1890, Muir persuaded Congress to set up Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. In 1892, he founded the Sierra Club.
