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

4.0

After visiting Yosemite NP, I had to check out all the books on John Muir and his efforts to preserve the nation's wilderness. This was a fascinating story of President Theodore Roosevelt writing Muir asking him to take him on a camping trip in Yosemite. Muir leaves the President in awe as he takes him to Mariposa Grove where they slept under the giants and then on to Glacier Point learning about how the rocks were formed from glaciers. "Teedie" became an advocate and was able to create laws that helped preserve our beloved national parks and trees, as well as national monuments.
