  • Page 29 were about six feet high and were built on a slope of thirty degrees, being constructed on frames. The one miniature mountain was left bare, the gulleys and depressions in the sides of the mountain being faithfully reproduced. The other mountain was covered with a layer of sponge about four inches thiok and over this was spread moss; in this moss were put small twigs of evergreen!. The Committee on Agrioulture admitted that we had two very good illustrations of mountains. Rain was caused to fall on these mountains by a member of the association climbing a step ladder with a sprinkling oan, endeavoring to demonstrate what ooourred when it rained on forest-covered mountains and bare mountains. The results were that the demonstration showed conclusively that the water which fell on the bare mountain ran off with a gush, foroing rlverB in the lowlands out of their banks and causing devastating floods; while the rain whoh fell on the forest covered mountains was held in the humus and given up slowly in the form of springs, this regulating the water supply in the lowlands. This same year, there ooourred along the Catawba River the most destructive flood that the section had ever known, it being estimated that something like $18,000,000 damage was done to the agricultural lands

  • 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.
