by Chris Epting (Author)
"There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country." --Theodore Roosevelt
In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt embarked on one of the most audacious journeys in presidential history--the epic "Great Loop Tour." This daring nine-week, 14,000-mile train trek across 25 states transformed the landscape of American conservation.
At the heart of this monumental trip lies a legendary three-night camping expedition through Yosemite alongside renowned naturalist John Muir. This profound experience would help spark the creation of the National Park system and the preservation of many of America's wild spaces for future generations.
Roosevelt's tour broke other boundaries along the way, including the presence of courageous African American Buffalo Soldiers who not only protected the President, but became the first guardians of our national parks.
The remarkable connections between Roosevelt, Yosemite, and President Abraham Lincoln, along with the many other fascinating characters helped to shape the modern conservation movement for decades to come.
In this revised and expanded edition, author Chris Epting explores one of the most impactful presidential journeys in American history and the forging of our national parks.
