Seventh District, spent in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, making a personal investigation of the sites where it was proposed to looate the "Appalachian National Forest Reserve". During the year 1901, it developed that the Park Association had made a mistake in asking for a National Park as the government had already gone on record as opposing the purchase of land at any future time for national park purposes. For this reason, the Association ohanged its name from The Appalachian National Park Association to "THE APPALACHIAN NATIONAL FOREST RESERVE ASSOCIATION". See "Exhibit C", Minute Book of the Association.

  • This 72-page journal recording “The Activities of the Appalachian National Park Association and the Appalachian National Forest Reserve Association: 1899-1906” was compiled by the association’s secretary and founding member Chase P. Ambler (1865-1932). The manuscript was created in 1929, the year Ambler donated the association’s records to the State Archives. The Appalachian National Park Association was formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. Although housed in Asheville, North Carolina, the organization was a multi-state effort, attracting representatives from six southern states. The association lobbied Congress for the creation of a park, but with limited success. The association disbanded in 1905.
