Before long, the pair, opposites in many ways, decide to venture to Yosemite Valley, the magnificent site where twenty years earlier, Muir experienced a personal and spiritual awakening that would set the course of the rest of his life. Upon their arrival the men are confronted with a shocking vision, as predatory mining, tourism, and logging industries have plundered and defaced "the grandest of all the special temples of Nature."

The pact they form marks a watershed moment, leading to the creation of Yosemite National Park, and launching an environmental battle that captivates the nation and ushers in the beginning of the American environmental movement 600 10 $a Muir, John, $d 1838-1914 $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Johnson, Robert Underwood, $d 1853-1937 $x Friends and associates. 610 20 $a Sierra Club $x Biography. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Conservationists $z United States $x Biography. 650 0 $a Periodical editors $z United States $x Biography. 650 0 $a Naturalists $z United States $x Biography. 651 0 $a Yosemite National Park (Calif.) $x History. 651 0 $a Yosemite Valley (Calif.) $x History. 700 1 $a Desz, Samantha. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CBB135BE1D5411EE85C7632C52ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
