John Muir (1838-1914), founder of the Sierra Club, is a major figure in American history--the man who did more than any other person to shape the twentieth-century conservation movement. Roderick Nash is Professor Emeritus of Environmental History at Dartmouth College and author of Wilderness and the American Mind (1967), regarded as the one of the leading manifestos on humans coexisting with nature.
