Biographical profile of a Scot who became so ingrained in American history and culture that his image can be seen on the California quarter. Born in Dunbar, Scotland to a strict Calvinist father, Muir rose from a poor farmer to one of the founding members of the American environmental movement. After hiking along the Pacific Coast to South America, Muir became one of the foremost environmental minds in the United States and his writings led to the creation of Yosemite National Park, Grand Canyon National Park and other parks. Award-winning author and syndicated columnist Daniel Alef tells the exciting story of Muir's environmental evolution on the American scene.
