John Muir's Exploration in Kentucky The public is invited to a presentation on John Muir's walk through Kentucky by Marco Sioli, a professor of American history visiting from University of Milan in Italy, at 11:30amCT on Wednesday May 29, 2024, at the historic Trabue-Russell House in Columbia. Phil Hanna recommends the article below as an excellent introduction to Muir's historic journey. By Ken Johnson November 24, 2020, bernheim.org John Muir was one of the most significant environmentalists in U.S. history and the world. He was instrumental in establishing Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and the Petrified Forest National Monument (now a National Park) and helped found the Sierra Club. Muir was influential in making the preservation of our national lands a focus of congressmen and presidents. He was an advisor to President Theodore Roosevelt, who traveled to Yosemite to camp with Muir and seek his counsel. Born in Scotland in 1838, young John Muir moved with his family to Wisconsin in 1849. He took college courses in botany and chemistry at the University of Wisconsin- Madison and became deeply interested in the natural world, an interest that would be the focus of his life. After leaving college and Wisconsin, Muir spent several years in Ontario, Canada, working in a combination sawmill and rake factory. In 1866, he moved to Indianapolis where he worked in a wagon wheel factory. The following year, he severely injured his right eye in an industrial accident and was blind in both eyes for a time. Despite this serious injury, he regained his sight and was determined to make a journey which would change his life and ultimately would set him on a course to change the country. John Muir decided to take a walk. A very, very long walk. Ultimately 1,000 miles from Louisville to the Gulf of Mexico.
