French's acquaintance with Muir was brought about by a series of articles by French which were published in San Francisco newspapers and the old Overland Monthly. These same articles, which described wild scenic spots about the Bay Region, also led to his forming the acquaintance of several members of the Sierra Club, which Muir organized in 1892 and of which he was president up to the time of his death" in 1914.
