Why did he become so famous that mountains, parks, trails, schools, a glacier, a millipede, and even a planet are named after him? This is the story of John Muir's adventurous life, from Scotland to his legendary exploits in America, where he became an inventor, a global explorer, and the first modern environmentalist-- and even made friends with a president! His heart was always captivated by the outdoors and he aimed to experience all he could. He swung through a windstorm at the top of a tall tree, climbed too many mountains to count, and rode an avalanche to its end. Most importantly, though, John Muir told the world about the wonders of nature. His words made a difference then, and they still do today, inspiring people in many countries to protect planet Earth.
