This 6-page series of correspondence between C. P. Ambler, J. M. Greer, H. M. Branson, and J. T. Wilder discusses the relationship Appalachian National Park Association has with the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce. Formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S, the Appalachian National Park Association grew out of work with the Asheville Board of Trade. Although in somewhat of a rivalry, both states eventually cooperated to acquire land and secure funding for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
