  • 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 four letters--correspondence between Zebulon Weaver, Mrs. Henry Horton, and R. C. D’Armand--centers around the issue of Colonel Chapman’s reelection as the Chairman of the Tennessee Park Commission. R. C. D’Armand to Zebulon Weaver, October 18, 1932 In this letter D’Armand expresses the support of East Tennesseeans for Colonel D. C. Chapman to be reelected as the Chairman of the Tennessee Park Commission and urges Weaver to bear upon the Tennessee governor to this purpose. Zebulon Weaver to Mrs. Henry H. Horton, October 24, 1932 In this letter Weaver states to Mrs. Horton that Colonel Chapman’s dismissal would be regrettable considering the personal sacrifices that Chapman had made for the establishment of the park. Zebulon Weaver to R. C. D’Armand, October 24, 1932 In this letter Weaver mentions he had written to Mrs. Horton as D’Armand had suggested and he supported Colonel Chapman. R. C. D’Armand to Zebulon Weaver, November 19, 1932 In this letter D’Armand acknowledges Weaver’s support for Chapman and hopes the Governor and Mrs. Horton would persuade the Commission to reelect Colonel Chapman.
