Re: The camping trip that changed America: Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir in Yosemite by Chris Epting

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt embarked on his first visit to California. Before leaving, he reached out to naturalist John Muir with a special favor: to act as the president’s tour guide in Yosemite. Join author Chris Epting for a presentation on how that fateful three-day trip helped to shape the destiny of Yosemite and the National Park system.

The Forum will take place Tuesday, February 9, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm in the Yosemite Valley Auditorium.

In a prior life, I dabbled in freelance writing. I wrote an article
on a book called JAMES DEAN DIED HERE, written by the
same Chris Epting. Recommended reading, if you are into
pop culture.

JAMES DEAN DIED HERE

I pulled over once to do something in the car. There was a monument there. Turned out to be the James Dean site.

Dean was killed in 1955 when his Porsche collided with a Ford
driven by the previously anonymous Donald Turnupseed, who
walked away from the wreckage.

Dean's last meal? An apple and a coke.
