exercise 20 Add the missing capital letters to the story.
The explorers who first discovered Yosemite National Park promoted a park bill in Washington in late 1871 and early 1872. The Yosemite Act of 1864 was a good starting point. It had banned settlement in Yosemite Valley and entrusted it to the care of California officials. Elsewhere in the US, the wonders of Yellowstone, which were shown through Jackson’s photographs, Moran’s paintings and Elliot’s sketches, had sparked interest in Congress. Therefore, it didn't come as a surprise that the United States Congress founded Yellowstone National Park in 1872. On a spring Friday, March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. The national parks became an American invention and Yellowstone the world’s first national park.
