John Muir

My presentation was on a Scottish man named John Muir. I had heard his name before but I haven't really went into depth about him until i got assigned to do a PowerPoint about him. This man was basically the reason why half of the national parks are national parks. He wrote over 300 articles about his adventures in the woods or his journets throughout parks he been to. He met Theodore Roosevelt and helped found the Sierra Club, which makes notable parks national parks. For example, the Yosemite national park, if it wasn't for John Muir and his team, maybe this park would not have been a piece of American  nature history.
