Abstract:
Hugh MacRae Morton, famed photographer, had an appreciation of the area around Grandfather Mountain perhaps more akin to individuals like John Muir, co-founder of the Sierra Club.

In the spring of 1867, after recovering from a serious eye injury, John Muir was trekking across western North Carolina. He was a young man of twenty-nine, and his great fame as a conservationist lay years ahead of him.
