Quote:
“Muir’s powerful writing had influenced President Grover Cleveland to establish thirteen forest reserves. His message persuaded President Theodore Roosevelt to add 148 million acres to the reserves, and to create five national parks and twenty-three national monuments. Some historians even honor Muir as the ‘Father of our National Parks’” (Warrick 108-109).
Prompt:
Do you think John Muir deserves to be called ‘Father of our National Parks’? Why/why not? What other title would you give John Muir? Write your title and explain why he deserves this title. Use at least two specific reasons/examples to support your title.
