In this appreciation of John Muir, advocate of wilderness preservation and founder of the Sierra Club, a brief text touches on biographical highlights and serves to caption Locker's lush romantic landscape paintings. Each double-page spread includes a quotation from Muir; additional excerpts from his writings are appended on the final page. This is a thin but adequate introduction to Muir's contributions to nature conservation.
