Who knew John Muir made so much money?
John Muir had a mind for efficiency. He looked at his father-in-law's thousands of experiments and chose the crops that would make the most money. He also worked with the railroad company to have a train line and station put in less than a mile from the house so that he could send his crops to markets quickly. Muir not only supported his family with the ranch, but used the money to fund his famous adventures and campaign for the nature he loved. |
