John Muir Quote of the Day" All Nature's wildness tells the same story: the shocks and outbursts of earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers, roaring , thundering waves and floods, the silent uproot of sap in plants, storms of every sort, each and all, are the orderly, beauty-making love-beats of Nature's heart."

24

He is torn between two worlds, Though he loves his family ,he rally misses the wilderness she remained at home on their ranch with their two daughters..She encourages him to return to his true calling and to write about it

. In 1901, Muir published Our National Parks, a book that brought him to President Theodore Roosevelt's attention. In 1903, Roosevelt visited Muir in Yosemite. Together, they laid the foundation of Roosevelt's innovative conservation programs. Soon after that meeting, Roosevelt started on a course of action that established 148 million acres of national forest, 5 national parks and 23 national monuments during his presidency. 26

Muir and the Sierra Club fought many battles to protect Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. He served as the Club's president until his death in 1914. 29

He slept away in a new journeyHis vision doesnt dieWhen he died in 1914, the Nation was committed in spirit, to the wise use of its natural resources. Today Muir's influence lives on in the publics appreciation and support of Americas wild places

But it was John Muir's love of nature, and the preservation of it, that we can thank him for today. 31
