During his whirlwind 1903 tour of the western states; President Theodore Roosevelt paid his first visit to California. In between the appearances and pageantry; he embarked on three days of epic adventure in the wilderness of Yosemite with the famous and influential naturalist John Muir. A lover of the rugged outdoors; Roosevelt was humbled and impressed by the camping trip; which proved to be one of the most important sojourns in presidential history. Through firsthand accounts; speeches and rare photographs; author Chris Epting tells the story of a great and profound journey that had a lasting effect on conservation history and the National Park System.
