John Muir
Muir was born in Scotland on the 21st of April in 1838. In 1849, Muir moved to the United States. Later in his life, Muir experienced an accident that temporarily blinded him. Once his vision was regained, he found a new passion for the world around him and focused on improving it for future generations. He founded the Sierra Club in 1892, and strongly promoted the addition of National Parks to America. In 1903, Muir's book Our National Parks caught the interest of president Teddy Roosevelt, who with Muir's guidance created many conservational programs. Muir passed away in 1914.
