John Muir is generally credited with the idea of creating a National Park System. The movement for an independent agency to oversee the federal lands was spearheaded by Stephen Mather, as well as J. Horace McFarland. With the help of journalist Robert Sterling Yard, Mather ran a publicity campaign for the Department of the Interior. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill into law which created the National Park Service.
John Ericks was born September 16, 1967, in Tinley Park, IL, USA.

Many environmentalists pushed for the creation of the park to prevent logging and grazing. John Muir was one of the major proponent of the campaign, which was ultimately successful.
If it weren't for John Muir and his writings, we probably would not have Yosemite National Park as we know it today. He was also involved in the creation of the Grand Canyon, Kings Canyon, Petrified Forest, and Mt. Rainier National Parks.

The two most notable figures in the creation of the park are John Muir and President Roosevelt. Apparently, Muir had taken Roosevelt up to Glacier Point for a multi-day excursion and Roosevelt fell in love with the park, helped by the overnight snow. His impression helped encourage him to sign the park into establishment.
