(3) He built clocks and designed machines that made farming easier. He took classes at the University of Wisconsin. He travelled through Canada and then Florida, studying nature.

"I came to life in the cool winds and the clear waters of the mountains," he wrote. John spent the rest of his life protecting the wild places he loved so much. He was a gifted writer and wrote about the beauty of the land. In 1892, John Muir started the Sierra Club. (5)
