John Muir, Yosemite, & The Fight To Protect America’s Crown Jewel | Dean King
Dean King is an author, a journalist, and a documentarian.
His latest book, "Guardians of the Valley: John Muir and the Friendship that Saved Yosemite" is available at all reputable booksellers.
This book, of which I strongly urge you all to get a copy, tells the fascinating story of John Muir, Robert Underwood Johnson, and their historic effort to protect Yosemite from the water-hungry pols of San Francisco.
In this episode, Dean and I discuss:
The life and writings of John Muir; His editor and friend, Robert Underwood Johnson; The beauty of California; Damming the Hetch Hetchy; Protecting Yosemite; The establishment of National Parks; The Scarcity and Politics of Natural Resources; The Sierra Club; The Controversy surrounding John Muir; Should Muir be canceled?; Environmentalism; Conservation; Water Use; Ralph Waldo Emerson; Henry David Thoreau; “Indoor” v. “Outdoor” Philosophy; Transcendentalism; Camping; and MUCH more!
