Editorial Reviews

The true story of one man's inspired struggle to save what later became Yosemite National Park from ruthless, wanton destruction. The man's name was Galan Clark, and his tireless efforts won him the support of President Lincoln himself. This family adventure chronicles the adventures and exploits of Galan Clark (Denver Pyle), one of the early naturalists. Clark was a friend and peer of John Muir, the man whose writings did so much to encourage the development of the national park system in the U.S. The two men attempt to save Yosemite Valley in California from the lumbermen and managed to get Abraham Lincoln to sign a piece of national legislation which would do just that. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide VCI Home Video, 1976; 96 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mountain Man--Guardian of the Wilderness, March 5, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Mountain Man (1976, aka Guardian of the Wilderness) (VHS Tape)

This is one of the very best videos I have ever seen. Stars Denver Pyle and Ken Berry. Has some of the sweetest baby animals ever filmed. It is historically about 90 per cent accurate!
