Doomed

John Muir (1838-1914), Steep Trails (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1918), p. 104:
The great wilds of our country, once held to be boundless and inexhaustible, are being rapidly invaded and overrun in every direction, and everything destructible in them is being destroyed. How far destruction may go it is not easy to guess. Every landscape, low and high, seems doomed to be trampled and harried.
