  • 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 correspondence between W. B. Tyree, New Editor for the McDowell News, and Zebulon Weaver-a set of two letters--discusses possible routes for the proposed Park-to-Park Highway. W. B. Tyree to Zebulon Weaver, June 19, 1934 In this letter Tyree seeks information from Weaver about the possible routes the planned Sky Line Drive or the Park-to-Park Highway will take in North Carolina. Zebulon Weaver to W. B. Tyree, July 6, 1934 In this letter Weaver acknowledges that the Highway could be brought down into Tennessee and even though this was unsatisfactory he was hoping that Secretary Ickes would decide in favor of North Carolina regarding the highway construction.
