Sell Your John Muir Autograph
John Muir was an explorer, writer, naturist, conservationist and inventor who is often called “Father of the National Parks”. He is primarily remembered as one of the greatest proponents for protecting and creating the national parks of the U.S. Muir’s travels took him around the globe and some of the writings on these trips brought attention to U.S. locations that later became national parks. He had a role in the creation of Yosemite, Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Glacier Bay, the Petrified Forest and the Grand Canyon. Muir also co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892, a non-profit environmental preservation organization, and served as its first president. The Sierra club is the first expansive environmental conservation group and lobbies politicians for policies that protect the environment.
