“Muir met the president at the Mariposa Big Trees Grove on May 15, 1903, and the two rode off for three days together in Yosemite. This was the beginning of a life-long friendship between the two men…Roosevelt, already a friend of the forests, left Yosemite convinced that action must be taken to protect the nation’s wild places. By the time he left office in 1909, Roosevelt had set aside more than 148 million acres of additional national forests and doubled the number of national parks” (Warrick 90-91).
Prompt:
What did Muir and the President discuss during their camping trip? Write a dialogue between Muir and President Roosevelt. Include at least three references to specific places in Yosemite.
