Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a U.S. president on a camping trip! It seems unlikely today, but in May 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt dismissed his Secret Service men to go camping with John Muir, the world-famous naturalist. For three glorious nights and four days in California's Yosemite National Park, the two men talked about birds, giant sequoia trees, glaciers, as well as the importance of preserving wilderness for future generations. They slept under the stars, built blazing campfires, and enjoyed the beauty and the uniqueness of the area. Setting aside new national parks and monuments became one of the cornerstones of Roosevelt's presidency and was a direct result of this camping trip. Author Ginger Wadsworth and illustrator Karen Dugan carefully researched this true story, relying on primary documents and working closely with experts in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author David Gessner’s wilderness road trip inspired by America’s greatest conservationist, Theodore Roosevelt, is “a rallying cry in the age of climate change” (Robert Redford). “Leave it as it is,” Theodore Roosevelt announced while viewing the Grand Canyon for the first time. “The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.” Roosevelt’s pronouncement signaled the beginning of an environmental fight that still wages today. To reconnect with the American wilderness and with the president who courageously protected it, acclaimed nature writer and New York Times bestselling author David Gessner embarks on a great American road trip guided by Roosevelt’s crusading environmental legacy. Gessner travels to the Dakota badlands where Roosevelt awakened as a naturalist; to Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon where Roosevelt escaped during the grind of his reelection tour; and finally, to Bears Ears, Utah, a monument proposed by Native Tribes that is currently embroiled in a national conservation fight. Along the way, Gessner questions and reimagines Roosevelt’s vision for today’s lands. “Insightful, observant, and wry,” (BookPage) Leave It As It Is offers an arresting history of Roosevelt’s pioneering conservationism, a powerful call to arms, and a profound meditation on our environmental future.

Book excerpt: At the time I made the trip to Yellowstone Park with President Roosevelt in the spring of 1903, Ipromised some friends to write up my impressions of the President and of the Park, but I have beenslow in getting around to it. The President himself, having the absolute leisure and peace of theWhite House, wrote his account of the trip nearly two years ago! But with the stress and strain of mylife at "Slabsides,"-administering the affairs of so many of the wild creatures of the woods aboutme, -I have not till this blessed season (fall of 1905) found the time to put on record an account ofthe most interesting thing I saw in that wonderful land, which, of course, was the President himself.When I accepted his invitation I was well aware that during the journey I should be in a storm centremost of the time, which is not always a pleasant prospect to a man of my habits and disposition. ThePresident himself is a good deal of a storm, -a man of such abounding energy and ceaseless activitythat he sets everything in motion around him wherever he goes. But I knew he would be pretty welloccupied on his way to the Park in speaking to eager throngs and in receiving personal and politicalhomage in the towns and cities we were to pass through. But when all this was over, and I foundmyself with him in the wilderness of the Park, with only the superintendent and a few attendants tohelp take up his tremendous personal impact, how was it likely to fare with a non-strenuous personlike myself? I asked. I had visions of snow six and seven feet deep, where traveling could be doneonly upon snow-shoes, and I had never had the things on my feet in my life. If the infernal firesbeneath, that keep the pot boiling so furiously in the Park, should melt the snows, I could see theparty tearing along on horseback at a wolf-hunt pace over a rough country; and as I had not been ona horse's back since the President was born, how would it be likely to fare with me then?I had known the President several years before he became famous, and we had had somecorrespondence on subjects of natural history. His interest in such themes is always very fresh andkeen, and the main motive of his visit to the Park at this time was to see and study in its semidomesticated condition the great game which he had so often hunted during his ranch days; and hewas kind enough to think it would be an additional pleasure to see it with a nature-lover like myself.For my own part, I knew nothing about big game, but I knew there was no man in the country withwhom I should so like to see it as Roosevelt.Some of our newspapers reported that the President intended to hunt in the Park. A woman inVermont wrote me, to protest against the hunting, and hoped I would teach the President to lovethe animals as much as I did, -as if he did not love them much more, because his love is foundedupon knowledge, and because they had been a part of his life. She did not know that I was thencherishing the secret hope that I might be allowed to shoot a cougar or bobcat; but this fun did notcome to me. The President said, "I will not fire a gun in the Park; then I shall have no explanationsto make." Yet once I did hear him say in the wilderness, "I feel as if I ought to keep the camp inmeat. I always have." I regretted that he could not do so on this occasi

Book excerpt: In the classic nature work, The Yosemite, the great American naturalist, John Muir, describes the Yosemite valley's geography and the myriad types of trees, flowers, birds, and other animals that can be found there. The Yosemite is among the finest examples of John Muir nature writings.The Yosemite is a classic nature/outdoor adventure text and a fine example of John Muir nature writings. In this volume, Muir describes the Yosemite valley's geography and the various types of trees, flowers and animals that can be found there. John Muir (April 21, 1838 - December 24, 1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is a prominent American conservation organization. The 211-mile (340 km) John Muir Trail, a hiking trail in the Sierra Nevada, was named in his honor.[2] Other such places include Muir Woods National Monument, Muir Beach, John Muir College, Mount Muir, Camp Muir and Muir Glacier. In Scotland, the John Muir Way, a 130 mile long distance route, was named in honor of him. In his later life, Muir devoted most of his time to the preservation of the Western forests. He petitioned the U.S. Congress for the National Park bill that was passed in 1890, establishing Yosemite National Park. The spiritual quality and enthusiasm toward nature expressed in his writings inspired readers, including presidents and congressmen, to take action to help preserve large nature areas. He is today referred to as the "Father of the National Parks" and the National Park Service has produced a short documentary about his life. Muir has been considered 'an inspiration to both Scots and Americans'. Muir's biographer, Steven J. Holmes, believes that Muir has become "one of the patron saints of twentieth-century American environmental activity," both political and recreational. As a result, his writings are commonly discussed in books and journals, and he is often quoted by nature photographers such as Ansel Adams. "Muir has profoundly shaped the very categories through which Americans understand and envision their relationships with the natural world," writes Holmes. Muir was noted for being an ecological thinker, political spokesman, and religious prophet, whose writings became a personal guide into nature for countless individuals, making his name "almost ubiquitous" in the modern environmental consciousness. According to author William Anderson, Muir exemplified "the archetype of our oneness with the earth", [ while biographer Donald Worster says he believed his mission was "...saving the American soul from total surrender to materialism." 403 On April 21, 2013, the first ever John Muir Day was celebrated in Scotland, which marked the 175th anniversary of his birth, paying homage to the conservationist. Muir was born in the small house at left. His father bought the adjacent building in 1842, and made it the family home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Theodore Roosevelt's love of natural history is celebrated in two sketches written by renowned naturalist John Burroughs. The friends shared a two-week trip to Yellowstone in the spring of 1903, in order to observe the wildlife and geologic wonders of America's first national park. The desire was to commune with nature, not to hunt. "I will not fire a gun in the Park, then I shall have no explanations to make," President Roosevelt said. While they had guides, the president was unaccompanied by secret service, personal physician, or secretaries and, remarkably, took an 18-mile trek through hard country completely by himself on one occasion. "He came back as fresh as when he started..."
