Commentary
Médaille, conservée dans une petite boîte blanche de Medallic Art Co. New York
John Muir (né le 21 avril 1838 et mort le 24 décembre 1914) est un écrivain américain né en Écosse. Il fut l'un des premiers naturalistes modernes, militant de la protection de la nature. Ses lettres, essais, et livres racontent ses aventures dans la nature et la vie sauvage, notamment dans les montagnes de la sierra Nevada en Californie ; très lus à son époque, ils sont encore très populaires aujourd'hui. Son action a contribué à sauver la vallée de Yosemite et d'autres espaces sauvages. Le Sierra Club, qu'il a fondé, est à ce jour une des plus importantes organisations de protection de l'environnement des États-Unis. Ses écrits et sa philosophie ont fortement influencé la naissance du mouvement écologiste moderne.
Situé dans la chaîne de montagnes de la Sierra Nevada, en Californie du Nord, le parc national de Yosemite est l'un des joyaux du système des parcs nationaux. Plus de 3,5 millions de visiteurs parcourent chaque année les vallées et les montagnes du parc, s'émerveillent devant la grandeur des célèbres destinations d'escalade comme El Capitan et Half Dome ou contemplent la beauté majestueuse des chutes de Yellowstone. Couvrant plus de 1 200 miles carrés, Yosemite constitue un véritable symbole de l’Ouest américain..

Historical background
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
During the First World War, the United States stood apart from the conflict. Faced with threatening Germany, the United States entered the war in 1917 and played a decisive role in the victory. The post-war period experienced an extraordinary economic boom which confirms the role of the world's leading commercial and financial power achieved before the First World War. In such euphoria, the economic crisis born in October 1929 led to a real economic paralysis which created seven million unemployed in two years. The election of Roosevelt in 1932 made it possible to overcome the crisis with the interventionist policy of the "New deal" but reduced the influence of the United States on world politics while Europe was sinking into totalitarian regimes. Re-elected in 1940, Roosevelt made the United States the arsenal of democracies, and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 threw the American people into World War II..
