Description
Camping with the President tells the true story of an unlikely friendship between two men who changed America's relationship with nature. In May 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt embarked on a camping trip with John Muir, the world-famous naturalist, in California's Yosemite National Park.
Over three glorious nights and four days, they discussed the importance of preserving wilderness for future generations, as well as their shared passion for birds, giant sequoia trees, and glaciers. This chance encounter had a lasting impact on Roosevelt's presidency, leading to the establishment of new national parks and monuments.
Author Ginger Wadsworth and illustrator Karen Dugan have carefully researched this remarkable true story, using primary documents and working closely with experts in the field to bring it to life.
