John Muir National Historic Site

According to the land grant system in Spain and Mexico, individual families possess thousands of acres of land. The original Martinez subsidy covers over 17,000 acres and passes through the town of Pinole in the southwestern part of the Alhambra Valley. Don Vincente Martinez, the son of President of Commander San Francisco, made adobe brick around 1849.

The wall is dried adobe bricks ranging in thickness from 24 to 30 inches but Martinez Adob ​​e is based on rough stones. The roof is covered with cedar and redcurrant

Don Vicente Martinez lived in his adobe in just four years, before selling it to Edward Franklin, a group of owners who would change the land again.

Dr. John Strenzell, John Muir's father-in-law, purchased adobe from Thomas Red Fern of Australia in 1874. Dr. Strenzel, known as the father of California state gardening, quickly replaced cows with various fruit trees. Dr. Strentzel uses adobe as a warehouse and as the place of residence of the president.

Contrary to the legend, John Muir and his wife have never lived in Martinez Adob ​​e, but his eldest daughter, Wanda and her husband, Thomas Hanna's house. John Muir often eats adobe and finds time to play with grandchildren

In 1914, in the year of Muir 's death, Martinez' s heavy industry was about to come and the orchard downstream of the Alhambra Valley began to end. Population growth means that the monetary value of the land for the household is higher than the orchard and the land changes again.

In the 1960s, open farmland was replaced by houses and streets. A small sample of the past was organized before the citizens disappeared and in 1964, adobe became part of John Muir National Historic Site.

HIST 052. The World of John Muir: The Origin of the Protection Movement (4) Most people believe that John Muir (1838-1914) is the "father" of modern protection movement. This course traces his life to the protection of his crusade and his world heritage. John Muir's paper, the homepage of the Pacific University Library, is used by all students to study John Muir's contribution to protection. Outdoor travel to Martinez John Muir National Historic Site and Yosemite National Park is part of this course.

From a historical perspective, Scottish-born American naturalist John Muir (1838 - 1914) was an important early supporter of the wilderness of hiking and conservation in America. He promoted the National Park Act passed by the United States Congress in 1890 and established the Yosemite National Park and the Sequoia National Park. The Sierra Club he founded is currently one of the most important conservation groups in the United States.

Thanks to John Muir's hard work, the early protection movement in the United States has also been successful. Muir is often considered one of the earliest environmentalist in the United States, and has received numerous American honors in environmental protection activities. He is known as a National Historic Site at his home in Martinez, California, and his childhood home in Portage, Wisconsin is also the National Historic Landmark Fountain Lake Farm. He is a nearly blind yuan former worker due to an accident at work. After almost disappearing, Muy decided to see "America's natural wonders". Based on his trip in Yosemite and Sierra Nevada, Moore wrote a series of articles titled "Sierra Leone Studies" for the "century" magazine. In 1892, John Muir cooperated with the editor Robert Underwood Johnson of the century to establish the Sierra Club aimed at protecting American natural resources and the park.
