Linnie Marsh Wolfe (1881-1945) worked as both a teacher and a public librarian in California. Her twenty-two year devotion to the life and works of John Muir resulted also in the publication of Son of the Wilderness, which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1946.
"Linnie Marsh Wolfe almost singlehandedly restored John Muir to the respectability and stature he always deserved, after he had been relegated to the status of American eccentric in his waning years. . . . These two volumes are an important part of the development of appropriate research onto one of America's landmark naturalists, a proto-environmentalist, and popularizer of nature to a wide public. These two volumes should be on the shelves of anyone seriously interested in American environmental history."--John Opie, Environment Review
