  • National Parks - John Muir

  • John Muir (1838-1914) was America's most famous and influential naturalist and conservationist. He is one of California's most important historical personalities. He has been called "The Father of our National Parks," "Wilderness Prophet," and "Citizen of the Universe." As early as 1876, he urged the federal government to adopt a forest conservation policy through articles published in popular periodicals. In 1892 he founded the Sierra Club. In 1901, Muir published Our National Parks, the book that brought him to the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1903, Roosevelt visited Muir in Yosemite. There, together, beneath the trees, they laid the foundation of Roosevelt's innovative and notable conservation programs.

  • The Men Who Built America

  • “America’s advancement in the last three decades is staggering. Railroads (Vanderbilt) have replaced wagon trails to unite the nation. And the country’s cities stand tall on steel (Carnegie). First kerosene (Rockefeller) transformed the night. Now electricity is about to light homes from coast to coast.”
