Hello, my name is John Muir. The progressive Era is a
time of rapid progress, but none is as important as my
conservation works. I grew up in the western frontier and I
witnessed firsthand the beauty of nature. I once hiked a
thousand miles through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee’s,
Georgia, and Florida. I then took a boat and crossed the
panama canal and ended up in san Francisco. The moment
I laid eyes on California I know I’m willing to do whatever
it takes to protect it. I’m nature’s biggest admirer. I am
fundamental in establishing Yosemite National park and I
am the leader of Sierra Club. My advocation started an era
of conservation and I personally documented the
wilderness through numerous writing. I also wrote all
these transcendentalists writing about my travel through
Australia, South America, and China. You might have
heard of Theodore Roosevelt impressive conservation
efforts, what you might not realize is that I’m the driving
forced behind his progress.
I want to build a future where there is public owned land
for all to enjoy. Where big cooperation does not get to ruin
the forest and the beauty of these mountains range. Where
we control our own national treasure. Don’t you want to
join me in the biggest revolution of our time? To protects
these lands from the claws of the big guys? Looks at this
branch I had in my hand, you might not care much about a
stick of wood, but we are all interconnected. We as human
depends on the great plains and the diverse flora and
fauna that these lands have to offer. I urge you all to
support all conservation efforts and carries on the
establishment of national parks. Time is of the most
essence, the urgency of this project will make this the most
important progressive movement. I also have no doubt
that if our resilient spirit continues, we will be able to build
a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren.
Just imagine, hundreds of years from now, city dwellers
going out to a national park for a relaxing break?
