About this ebook
Many working people, before they retire, wonder what they will do with all their spare time once their job of work is finished. So often, many find themselves doing things that not only occupy their full day, they do not have time for the things they thought they would be doing. This story, about a retired, widowed age pensioner, with only a little fox terrier for company, is always busy with his mind set on the things he wants to do. Everything and everyone else around him, including his grandchildren, is just a nuisance distracting him away from reading his books, or they are upsetting his rigid daily routine. Then something different from his daily routine happens.
Author
John Muir
John Muir (1838-1914) was a Scottish-born American naturalist, writer, and advocate of U.S. forest conservation. As early as 1876 Muir urged the federal government to adopt a forest conservation policy. In 1890, due in large part to Muir's efforts, an act of Congress created Yosemite National Park and. In 1892 Muir and a number of his supporters founded the Sierra Club, an organization devoted to protecting the environment. He served as its first president, a position he held until his death in 1914. Muir's personal involvement was instrumental in the establishment of many of the country's other national parks: Sequoia National Park, the Petrified Forest, Muir Woods National Monument, and Grand Canyon National Park. John Muir died in Los Angeles on December 24, 1914, of pneumonia at the age of seventy-six. His writings continue to serve as sources of inspiration for naturalists and conservationists the world over and remain important works in the body of literature on America's natural history.
