I am sorry there is not more about the President visit in Yosemite This is all I found. Tom Mariposa Gazette, Saturday, May 16, 1903 The President at Raymond. President Roosevelt and party were at Raymond yesterday morning en route to the valley. The President delivered a short address to the large crowd present before his stage left. The crowd was the largest ever seen in Raymond and was very enthusiastic. A special train was run from Fresno and many people from there and Madera, as well as the surrounding mountain country, were present to see and hear the nation's chief. A big program of sports was given during the day. Mariposa Gazette, Saturday, May 23, 1903 The President at Yosemite President Roosevelt has seen Yosemite and is now on his return to the East. His visit was a disappointment to the people of Wawona and Yosemite, as elaborate preparations made in his behalf were turned down by him. At the big trees he exhibited considerable anger because his baggage had not been sent as ordered, and plainly told a railroad official what he thought of him therefore. In company with John Muir and Ranger Leidig and Leonard, he road around Wawona and spent two or three days camping in the woods. He expressed himself as being greatly impressed with the Valley and the trip. -- Thomas and Paulette Hilk 1725 Wildwood Ct. Merced, CA. 95340 E-mail address: paulette@elite.net
