About This Novel

In 1869, Muir was invited by a friend to go to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Yosemite Valley to herd sheep and investigate. Along the way, he wrote "Walking Through the Mountains in a Summer." Three months of walking in the mountains made him realize that the damage caused by natural grazing to mountain grasslands is irreversible. In 1903, he took Theodore Roosevelt on a nature tour of the valley, confiding to the president his grief at the erosion of the beauty. Roosevelt was impressed by Muir and realized that only through federal power could the beauty of the Sierra Nevada be preserved for a long time. In 1906, Muir single-handedly promoted the establishment of national parks in the United States, and under his influence, Roosevelt approved the creation of 53 wildlife refuges, 16 national monuments, and six national parks during his term. Since then, Muir has been known as the "Father of American National Parks."
