520    John Muir (1838-1914), whose writings about the natural 
       world have shaped the conservation and environmental 
       movements for more than a century, wrote this 
       autobiographical account near the end of his life about 
       his childhood in Dunbar, Scotland, his immigration to 
       America (1849), his adolescence on a pioneer farmstead 
       near Kingston, Wisconsin, and his student years at the 
       University of Wisconsin at Madison. The Story of My 
       Boyhood and Youth reveals the evolution of Muir's 
       scientific curiosity and the beginnings of his reverential
       attitude towards nature. Treating his encounters with 
       wildlife as high adventure, he gives especially informed 
       attention to bird life in both Scotland and Wisconsin. 
520    The Story of My Boyhood and Youth recounts John Muir’s 
       boyhood and his experiences growing up in nature. As a 
       child, Muir suffered under his severe father, who scolded 
       and beat Muir for not having read and memorized the Bible.
       To escape this world of trouble, Muir turned to nature for
       solace. His experiences exploring the outdoors soon led 
       Muir to bring his love of nature indoors and to the 
       knowledge and comfort of books. The young Muir began 
       studying ecology, chemistry and biology. Eventually, Muir 
       and his family left Scotland, choosing to settle in 
       America. In America, Muir’s fondness for the wilderness 
       continued to grow. Muir left his family in order to work 
       as a mechanic, but he ultimately decided to attend school 
       at the University of Wisconsin.ℓThe Story of My Boyhood 
       concludes just after Muir leaves university without a 
       degree, ready to learn under his next great teacher: 
       nature. This edition of the book includes illustrations 
       and sketches created by Muir himself.
