Son of the Wilderness

The life of John Muir. It was John Muir's destiny to lead men back to a realization of their origins as children of nature. 'In God's wildness lies the hope of the world, ' he said. He dared to dream of a day, and to work for it, when our Government would cherish this wildness as a perpetual heritage of raw resources for all the people, and a source of healing for body and spirit, and of faculties fostered into fulfillment by intimate communion with the Great Mother.
