The valley was, Muir wrote, "the grandest of all nature's temples". In March 1903, help appeared. Muir recieved a letter from President Roosevelt himself, Proposing a camping trip in Yosemite and asking Muir to be his guide "I do not want anyone with me but you," Roosevelt wrote. I got this evidence in passage 1 and paragraph 7, I thought this was good evidence because its talking about the national park and how the president wanted John Muir to go with him to it.
Adventure, John and Roosevelt had the best adventure.

    The letter talked about a man named Lewis Joseph, overcame a severe case of polio by swimming in warm and soothing waters in a small town originally called Bullochsville, that was later renamed Warm Springs. This intrigued Roosevelt and inspired him to take a trip to Warm Spring, Georgia. Once Roosevelt was there, he tested the water and it proved that he was able to move his body. The water however, didn’t cure polio. The reason it allowed movement was because it had a high concentration of calcium and magnesium in the water. This caused the water’s buoyance to increase, which in turn, allowed Polio victims to move more freely about in the water. Roosevelt experienced this and it gave him great
