On this date, June 30th of 1864, President Lincoln took the first steps to protect the awe-inspiring, breath-taking Yosemite Valley from development (being built upon or destroyed for economic gain) by signing the Yosemite Grant. This began the path for America to create its National Parks System - protecting land for "public use, resort, and recreation."

Today's Inspirational Quotes from Our Flag
"Maybe you weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but like every American, you carry a deed to 635 million acres of public lands. That's right. Even if you don't own a house or the latest computer on the market, you own Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and many other natural treasures."
