called a California condor (大秃鹫) is flying overhead. Who is this man, and why is he so important that he is
featured (处于显著地位) on the back of a coin?
The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a young man, he
spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness. He walked more than a thousand miles across
the country, through fields and woods. John Muir liked writing about the places he visited, describing their
beauty.
Muir also wrote about problems.In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle, rnany trees were
being cut down.This made Muir unhappy and worried, because he knew that trees were important to forests
and to the animals that lived in them.
Muir believed that nature should be conserved (保护) instead of being changed by human beings.He wrote
articles in magazines and newspapers to spread the word about conserving forests.Soon, others began to
listen. Muir wrote letters to important people,such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The president admired
Muir"s love for nature.When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California. Muir convinced (说服) the president to
go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they could talk about conservation. Later,President
