Franklin Delano Roosevelt created Kings Canyon, a wilderness park in California, based on the photographs of Ansel Adams
For the general public, he does the same thing that the Ken Burns documentary series does
Wallace Stegner says in the last episode that we're the most dangerous species alive ... And yet, we're also the species capable, when we wish to, of saving other species, of preventing this loss. ... Here we begin to realize, I think, that our parks are bellwethers of our planetary health. They can be ...
We're obviously proud to be part of something like one of Ken Burns' productions
I want to be Ken Burns [of PBS fame, also an honored 'Giant'] when I grow up... minus the facial hair.
Ken Burns is truly a genius, which I like to attribute in part to the fact that he grew up in Newark, at capturing our country's history and pastimes in a way that all Americans can relate to and enjoy

The national parks belong to us all. Whether you want to stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon, sit in the shade of a sequoia, or visit Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home, each of us can find a way to connect with our shared heritage by traveling to a national park ... We are very proud to work with Expedia...
Ken Burns uniquely captures their essence like no one can and shares the incredible story of protecting these pockets of beauty and nature so generation after generation can enjoy

And I looked to Whitman's very direct poetic language for what I didn't know about Lincoln because he influenced Lincoln's thinking about American democracy...
Even though we didn’t get a lot of baseball coverage in Australia other than maybe the World Series, I was still interested in the history ... I remember watching the Ken Burns’ documentary (a 10-part series on baseball). It came on real late at night so I’d fall asleep halfway through.
