John Muir did not convince President Theodore Roosevelt to stop hunting altogether, but he did influence Roosevelt's conservation policies. During their famous camping trip in 1903, Muir shared his views on nature and conservation, which helped shape Roosevelt's appreciation for the environment. As a result, Roosevelt became a strong advocate for the preservation of national parks and wildlife, leading to significant conservation efforts during his presidency. However, Roosevelt continued to enjoy hunting as a personal pastime.
John Muir had taken Teddy Roosevelt out on an overnight excursion to Yosemite's Glacier Point. President Roosevelt was so impressed by the trip that Muir was able to convince him to make the land a national park.
