On March 27, 1868, a young Scottish-American, John Muir, arrived in San Francisco. He made straight for the Oakland ferry without glancing at the rows of buildings on San Francisco's gridiron streets. 

The Yosemite called John Muir like a magnet. He did not even wait to earn money first; he had to see the valley. 

This poor farm boy, born so many miles away in Scotland, had traveled far and incurred much physical discomfort to reach these "mountains of light." His dedication to the Sierra Nevada, where he spent so many fruitful years of his life, left the world richer for his love and learning of these mountains.

His writings about Yosemite were not just words on a page. They were a spark that ignited a revolution, inspiring the creation of a national park. 

When he wrote in The Atlantic in August 1899 about the successful creation of Yosemite National Park, he not only shared his love for the region but also sparked a revolution. His words, 'Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.' inspired thousands of people to visit.

Although he lived in Yosemite for only a few years, it was the inspiration for his writings.  He called the legendary valley "Nature's landscape garden, at once beautiful and sublime."

In 1901, Muir wrote a definitive book on "Our National Parks." The descriptions in this book combine perspective with first-hand impressions from his journals.

So long as he lived, John Muir did much to direct public interest to, and provide guardianship for, the High Sierra country. 

The fine service that John Muir rendered to the American people by acquainting them with the intimate life of Sierra Nevada through unrivaled descriptions and first-hand information can never be measured. 

This stunning painting by Albert Bierstadt celebrates Muir's impression of the "Range of Light", and we hope you enjoy it as a wooden jigsaw puzzle.

The perfect gift for wooden jigsaw puzzlers and history & nature lovers,  this traditional adult wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done time and again. Our wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many shaped whimsy wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces that match the theme of the painting, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Albert Bierstadt

Albert Bierstadt, a 19th-century American painter, is best known for his sweeping, romanticized landscapes of the American West. Born in Germany in 1830 and raised in Massachusetts, Bierstadt became a leading figure of the Hudson River School. His large-scale oil paintings, filled with dramatic lighting and majestic natural scenery, shaped and significantly influenced public perception of the Western wilderness during rapid expansion and exploration.

Bierstadt's dedication to his craft was unwavering. He trained at the Düsseldorf Academy in Germany, developing a highly detailed and realistic painting technique that he later applied to American subjects. His extensive travels across the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, and the Great Plains gave him firsthand experience of the landscapes he depicted. His paintings, such as The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak, and Among the Sierra Nevada, California, were celebrated for their technical brilliance. They served as powerful visual arguments for preserving and appreciating the natural world.

Despite his early success, Bierstadt's work fell out of favor in the late 19th century as artistic tastes shifted. However, he experienced a revival of interest in the 20th century, and his legacy as one of America's foremost landscape painters has been firmly reestablished. Today, Albert Bierstadt's works are held in major museums and collections, admired for their beauty, ambition, and role in documenting the awe-inspiring vistas of a rapidly changing nation.
