H. Harriman, and conservationist Gifford Pinchot. Muir was responsible for the creation of the Sierra Club and he played an important role in preserving the Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring his lifetime, Muir published six different volumes of nature and personal writing. After his death in 1914, four more volumes were discovered and released.
