Camping with the President

Viac o knihe

The camping trip to Yosemite in 1903 profoundly influenced Theodore Roosevelt's conservation policies. During this adventure with naturalist John Muir, they engaged in deep discussions about nature, including birds and giant sequoias, while experiencing the wilderness firsthand. Their time spent under the stars and around campfires solidified Roosevelt's commitment to preserving natural landscapes, leading to the establishment of new national parks and monuments as a key achievement of his presidency.
