  • In 1900, the Appalachian National Park Association submitted a Memorial to Congress and, on May 25, 1900, a bill passed authorizing funds to investigate the possibility of a national park. The association frequently reproduced editorials and reports to distribute as promotional fliers. The number 3000 printed on this document indicated that the association printed and distributed 3000 copies. Although the organization had major successes early on, their efforts met with resistance and the organization disbanded in 1905.
