    National Parks. Beautiful and grand these parks have been protecting nature for many years, but it was not until I watched a video at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo that I realized the work that went into preserving them and who was involved, that was when I thought of my topic, John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt, working together to preserve nature. John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt interested me because of how influential they were in establishing national parks.

    The job of an explorer required the overcoming of many challenging obstacles and hardships. Thompson travelled over 128, 747 km, a staggering number that was ten times higher than the miles travelled by Lewis & Clark. Throughout that astonishingly long journey, Thompson would’ve hiked many hills, mountains, rivers, etc. Thompson also faced the obstacles of extreme heat, extreme cold, snow, rain, etc. “Going over one set of falls, Thompson and his men lost their canoes and almost all their gear. They were near starvation when they limped into a Native encampment a week later.” This was not the only major hardship David Thompson faced during his career as an explorer. “He survived numerous accidents, a near fatal case of malaria, debilitating cholera, blindness in one eye, and rheumatism in his leg.” This proves just how mentally and physically tough David Thompson really was. Thompson’s upbringings were also tough as his father passed away when he was a young boy. This forced Thompson to be placed into a school of orphans and foundlings. With all these mental obstacles, Thompson still managed to work hard in school and receive an apprenticeship with the Hudson’s Bay Company at age 14. Without his mental and physical toughness, David Thompson would not have been able to succeed in his achievements as a legendary explorer.…
