A 5-cent stamp in honor of the outstanding Naturalist, John Muir, was issued through the Martinez, Calif., post office, on April 29, 1964.
John Muir was born in 1838 at Dunbar, Scotland. He moved with his family to Wisconsin at an early age and later attended the University of Wisconsin. Muir spent most of his adult life in California and a large part of his fame rests on his successful crusade to save California's giant redwoods. He died in 1914.
