Best Made describes the inspiration for this patch, which it calls a "badge:"
"At first a seemingly aimless Scotsman, he grew to be as Emerson dubbed him "the prophet naturalist". He was a mountaineer, an adventurer, and a guide to "God's big show" (as he dubbed it). He was a storyteller, a spokesman, a catalyst and fixation of politicians and presidents, but try as they might he could not be bought. He could engineer a factory, but better yet he moved out West in 1868 and fashioned his own water powered mill to cut wind-felled trees, with which he built a cabin and the stage of the American environmental movement."
