Camping with the President

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Dugan. Wadsworth ably chronicles Theodore Roosevelt's 1903 camping trip with John Muir in Yosemite National Park. Incorporating a number of documented quotations from primary sources, in addition to less convincing invented conversations and interior monologues, she conveys Roosevelt's enthusiasm for Muir's work and the president's love of nature.
