    In 1924, Robinson persuaded sculptor Gutzon Borglum to travel to the Black Hills region to ensure the carving could be accomplished. Borglum had been involved in sculpting the Confederate Memorial Carving, a massive bas-relief memorial to Confederate leaders on Stone Mountain in Georgia, but was in disagreement with the officials there.[14] The original plan was to perform the carvings in granite pillars known as the Needles. However, Borglum realized that the eroded Needles were too thin to support sculpting. He chose Mount Rushmore, a grander location, partly because it faced southeast and enjoyed maximum exposure to the sun. Borglum said upon seeing Mount Rushmore, "America will march along that skyline."[15] Congress authorized the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission on March 3, 1925.[15] President Coolidge insisted that, along with Washington, two Republicans and one Democrat be…

    In the early 1920s, Los Angeles was just beginning to develop into a major city thanks to its port and the rise of the Hollywood motion picture industry. Thanks to the massive waves of construction, a massive cache of prehistoric animal skeletons was discovered in some asphaltum bogs on Rancho La Brea property soon to be enveloped by an expanding Los Angeles. By the mid-1920s an area of twelve square city blocks, the La Brea Tar Pits (which had been discovered a more than a decade prior), the largest discovered fossil depository in North America, had been set aside as a county park. From it over the years hundreds of skeletons were being recovered under the supervision of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, established at Exposition Park in 1913. Among the Pleistocene fossils found and put on display: mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats, the giant ground sloth and dire wolf, the California lion, weighing over a thousand pounds, the ground stork, the golden eagle (800 of these) and one…

    Theodore Roosevelt was very much into protecting our environment. He often spoke of the destruction caused by man against the environment. In one of his speeches he said "those lumber companies…have desired to get possession of the valuable timber of the public domain, to skin the land, and to abandon it when impoverished well-nigh to the point of worthlessness" He later says that because of this reason, forest reserves are needed and only the government can deal with this specific issue.

    Cahokia Mounds

    When I first arrived, I walked through the visitor’s center. The visitor’s center alone had several pieces of artwork. The displays and mannequins were incredible to look at. The imitation Mississippians were very life-like and realistic looking as they were set up in displays of what they would have done on a daily basis. I did not realize that Cahokia Mounds covers five square miles. I always thought of it as just one huge mound with buried objects instead of the area consisting of several mounds making an entire village. Wondering how the large mounds were made, especially the largest mound, Monks Mound, I asked. Apparently, the mounds of earth were made from “borrow pits” with stone and wood tools. The dirt was then taken in baskets on people’s back. Many “borrow pits” can still be seen in the area.…

    Roosevelt, was very supportive of national parks and would often make speeches about conserving them for the future. Theodore, during the progressive era, was a progressive and he adored nature in all its forms. The day before he became president, Theodore Roosevelt had gone to lake tear-in-the-clouds located in the Adirondack mountains. The adirondack mountains/parks is still being preserved in upstate New York and although this park isn’t very spoken of, it’s still one of the most conserved parks there is. If it weren’t for so many people really taking their time to keep these places as natural as possible, the urbanization and economic growth would have taken over most of these national forests today. When Theodore Roosevelt had become president, he sort of pushed our nation to look more towards its natural resources which was technically the making of the conservation movement. The beginning cause of all this was that Roosevelt had been a sportsman-hunter and when he got the chance to actually hunt in north america, after seeing all the animals and species become extinct, he felt that it was society's fault for the loss of their natural…
