| Abstract
|
:
|
Rebuilding after the 1906 earthquake, the city of San Francisco petitioned for a water reservoir to be constructed within the newly created Yosemite National Park. This sparked a debate over whether nature should be controlled or left alone, from which emerged the modern environmentalism movement.
