Early Lives of John Muir and Robert Underwood Johnson;

Part One of a Two-session virtual course with Roundtable by the 92nd Street Y | NYC.

The first session will cover the early lives of John Muir and Robert Underwood Johnson and the influences that shaped them, as the great naturalist and writer and the formidable editor and poet take their individual paths to prominence before meeting in San Francisco and bonding on a camping trip in Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows. We will discuss how they then united to create Yosemite National Park, to fight to save the Giant Sequoias of the Sierra Nevada, and to create the Sierra Club, becoming one of the most influential writer-editor teams in history, not to mention great, lifelong friends.
