An innovator in everything he did, John Muir was the first to ship grapes from California to Hawaii. At the end of ten years he told his life-long friend William E. Colby that he had cleared $100,000 and had all the wealth that he would ever want. He turned his back once more on money making. During the Harriman expedition to Alaska in 1899, someone mentioned the great wealth of the sponsor, the railroad magnate, E. H. Harriman. Muir replied, 'Why, I am richer than Harriman. I have all the money I want and he hasn't.'"
