This man invented a machine for automatically cutting out and assembling the parts of a wooden wheel. While working as one of the first efficiency consultants, this man found that temperature variations affected the performance of leather belts that drove the machines at the Osgood and Smith plant. An attempt to replace one of those worn belts cost him an eye, curtailing his plans to visit the Amazon. This man instead wrote about one of his most notable actions in a nine-chapter sequence that includes "Cedar Keys" and "Twenty Hill Hollow" entitled A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf, and he put forth a coherent theory of erosion via glacier movement in the 1870s. For 10 points, name this instigator of the declaration of Sequoia and Yosemite as national parks, a naturalist who founded the Sierra Club.
