In 1899, the Parks and Forestry Committee of the Asheville Board of Trade sent out this letter to representatives of six states announcing an upcoming meeting. The meeting, scheduled for November 9th, was held for the purpose of organizing an association to promote a national park in the southern Appalachians. Indeed, the Appalachian National Park Association was formed at that meeting, held in the Battery Park Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina. More than 70 letters included here are responses to, or forwards of, the initial letter.
