By Barb Rosenstock ● Pictures by Mordicai Gerstein
In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt decided to leave the bustling politics of Washington behind for an unprecedented adventure. He traveled into the heart of the Yosemite wilderness to meet with John Muir, a passionate naturalist who knew the giant redwood forests better than anyone. Camping under the towering trees and sleeping beneath the stars, the two men spent their days marveling at the majestic waterfalls and ancient forests. Deep in the quiet woods, they shared powerful conversations about the absolute necessity of protecting America's wild spaces. This beautifully told story captures the historic and intimate camping trip that sparked a massive conservation movement, ultimately leading to the creation of the United States National Park system.
