The Camping Trip That Changed America: Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, and Our National Parks by Mordicai Gerstein, Barb Rosenstock

4.0

It's a fun story, and I appreciate the notes Rosenstock put at the end, about where the storyline came from, considering that this event in American history is not well-documented with primary sources.  All the same, it is the historical equivalent of The Lorax, a call to action that we all need to heed (even more so now) to protect the wild places in our country from those who would prefer to make money off of them.  I doubt the current NPS is what Muir envisioned, based on this book's description, but I admit it's better than what would have happened if Teddy Roosevelt hadn't camped with Muir.
