Long before national parks existed, a young boy named John Muir found his greatest joy in the wild outdoors. Born in Scotland and raised on a hardscrabble farm in Wisconsin, John was an inventor and a dreamer. But his true calling was always the wilderness. Leaving behind the noise of cities and factories, John set out to explore the breathtaking landscapes of America. From the towering redwood forests to the majestic peaks of the Yosemite Valley, he documented the incredible beauty of nature. He soon realized that these wild places were in danger of being destroyed by logging and development. Using his powerful writing and unyielding passion, John Muir fought to protect the environment for future generations. Step into the inspiring true story of America's first great environmentalist, a man whose love for the earth helped save its most spectacular wonders.
