Muir, John, introduction & interpretive comments by Edwin Way Teale, — The Wilderness World of John Muir.

Boston, Houghton Mifflin, (1954). 6th ptg. G PB. Muir lived from 1836 to 1914 and covered most of the American wilderness alone & on foot without a gun, a sleeping bag & with. only a sackful of stale bread & tea. Yet major credit is ascribed to him for saving the Grand Canyon and Arizona's Petrified Forest. On a camping trip he convinced Pres. Teddy Roosevelt of the importance of a national conservation movement. He kept a journal most of his life & gives our generation a picture of the still wild America of a hundred years ago.
