Sketches in History | The President Who Slept Under the Stars

Sketches in History | The President Who Slept Under the Stars

The 15-Minute History Podcast team welcomes you back to another Sketches in History. This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story; it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life.

In this episode, she travels to May 1903 to witness an unlikely camping trip that changed America forever. Standing beside a crackling campfire in Yosemite Valley, Lottie watches as President Theodore Roosevelt ditches his Secret Service, sleeps under ancient sequoia trees, and learns from wild-bearded naturalist John Muir why these natural wonders must be saved. In this episode, your kids will learn about living the strenuous life, discover how one camping trip led to the protection of 230 million acres of America's most beautiful places, and witness the moment when a president chose to fight timber barons and powerful industries to preserve nature for children not yet born!

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!
