fr ^Zfiert G. Roth "The most massive uplift of the East.' —William Treleese. 'Marvellously beautiful are the little rivers." —National Park Bulletin means the destruction of the only source of natural storage in the region, and that the rainfall will reach the stream almost as soon as it falls, so that in the dry season there will be no reserve supply to augment the low- water flow." As convincingly, Dr. Charles D. Walcott, director of the Smithsonian, observes, "The destruction of the mountain forests is being followed by a constant erosion of the mountain slopes and valleys, an increasing irregularity in the flow of streams, and the silting of the river channels across the lowlands of the bordering states, which if continued will seriously and permanently injure the industrial conditions over considerable portions of these states.'' As Secretary James Wilson long ago remarked, "the perpetuation of the streams and the maintenance of their regular flow, so as to prevent floods and maintain their water powers, are among the prime objects of forest preservation in the Southern Appalachians. Nothing illustrates this more fully than the fact that on the neighboring streams, lying wholly within the Piedmont plateau, where the forests have been cleared from areas aggregating from sixty to eighty per cent of the whole, floods

"Great Smoky Mountains" is a 32-page brochure produced by the North Carolina Park Commission and collected by park promoter, Horace Kephart. The booklet is illustrated with many photographs by Thompson Brothers Photography and by George Masa (under the name of Plateau Studios and Asheville-Biltmore Film Co.), with descriptive captions by individuals associated with the park movement. The main essay, “Our National Park,” makes a case for a park in the Smokies due to the diversity of the region’s natural resources. While the writer mentions that the “picturesque” inhabitants and their “ancient log cabins” will be an “asset” to the park, in reality, inhabitants were moved out of the area and their dwellings destroyed.
