Education:Self-Improvement
Who was John Muir? What was his impact on conservation? What is a cañon? In this episode, we dig into 2 of John Muir’s essays about the wintertime wilderness.
Listen in for examples of Muir’s skilled imagery, a discussion of his impact on America and on conservation, and a secret conspiracy theory about his death.
We pulled our essays from Wilderness Essays by John Muir.
