“In August and September 1890, Muir’s two articles, “The Treasures of Yosemite” and “Features of the Proposed Yosemite National Park,” appeared in Century Magazine. His vivid style and his passion for the project attracted wide public support for the proposal Johnson introduced to Congress. The plan was successful. On October 1, 1890, the area earmarked by Muir became Yosemite National Park” (Warrick 86).
