The roads are blocked with lumber wagons and six-horse teams are hauling splendid trunks of poplar and chestnut to market.' With short sighted policy landowners are letting their best timber go. By and by the mountains will be stripped of their choicest growth and the heights will be bare and ragged.— /'. A. Stovall. JUL No one to whom this project has been mentioned but has grasped its meaning and value, and the most prominent men from the north, east and west, who have visited this couutry have expressed themselves enthusiastically and warmly in favor of the idea and its successful consummation.

JUL " These primeval woods, full of giant hemlocks and oaks and chestnuts of enormous girth and height, these glittering waterfalls and songster-streams, this superabundance of game, these minerals and mining possibilities could all be guarded and developed and protected for all posterity, as a rich legacy to unborn generations, if the people would bestir themselves

These three editions of the same brochure were written and distributed by the Appalachian National Park Association. The booklets list multiple reasons to support the “establishment of a national park in the mountains of western North Carolina.” Printed in 1899 and 1900, the booklets range from 11 to 12 pages each. In its earliest days, the association favored siting a park in western North Carolina, but soon broadened its mission to expand to other states. A fourth edition was printed under the name “Appalachian National Park: Synopsis of work accomplished.”
