John Muir is known today as the founder of the Sierra Club, the driving force behind the creation of Yosemite National Park, and as this nation’s first environmentalist. It was in his youth that the foundation for his love of wilderness was laid. This ninety-minute feature film chronicles Muir’s early life in Scotland and on the American frontier, and tells how he escaped the drudgery of farm work in the wilds of Wisconsin. We see John’s evolution from farm boy to mechanical wizard, factory foreman and, eventually, wilderness tramp.
