  • Zebulon Weaver (1872-1948) was a lawyer and U.S. Representative from western North Carolina. He was a member of the North Carolina Park Commission and was involved in the land acquisition process that went towards establishment of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and development of the Blue Ridge Parkway. This set of two letters deals primarily with the issue of Atkinson’s appeal for financial help from Weaver. Following are brief summaries of each of these letters: E.B.A (E.B. Atkinson) to Zebulon Weaver, April 12, 1932 In this two- page letter, Atkinson queries Weaver regarding the favorable outcome of case of the of Floyd Brothers and the Park and also about the possibility of Weaver giving him some money to save his financial standing in the community. Zebulon Weaver to E.B. Atkinson, April 15, 1932 In this letter Weaver acknowledges receiving Atkinson’s letter and asks him to meet with George Ward for defraying some of the costs related to the case and also states he was currently not in a position to help Atkinson monetarily.
