  • <- P.O.Box # 206 Morganton, N.C. ,Nov.l6,ln Hon.Zebulon Weaver -ieville, N.C. £y dear Sir : Kindly permit me to call your attention to the remarkable pronuncia- of Kr.Gammerer mento. in this morning's Citizen. It seems to me to run counter to the reasons which you recite in your two bills-Nos.12,601 and 12,771-both of which I have read with great care. Whatever may be the relations between the gentleman and the Rockefel- Foundation,he is a paid agent of the United States Government,and for that fact,shows a lack of perspicuity,if not of Southern history, when he threatens the legal authority of Tennessee. If it would not be bad manners on my part,I would suggest to the Rational Park director to read the story of Ferguson's thunderbolts on the heights of King's Mountain against our ancestors living around about Sycamore Copuriglited Material ShOalS. Western Carolina University Hunter Library at makes the matter look uglier,the papers reported some time sgo, that he had advised the Governor of Tennessee that his removal of D.G.Chapman from the Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains National Pork Commission would be considered an unfriendly act. With kind regards, Very truly yours,
Object
