This 37-page scrapbook was put together by A. H. McQuilkin, a Chicago-based editor who moved to Asheville, North Carolina in the mid-1890s. The scrapbook starts out with an article from one of McQulkin’s own publications, “Southern Pictures and Pencillings,” but also includes clippings from other sources including the “Asheville Citizen.” Most of the clippings date to 1899. McQuilkin and Ambler were founding members of the Appalachian National Park Association, which promoted the idea of a national park in the southern Appalachians. The association disbanded in 1905. The frontispiece of the book is inscribed “Per C. P. Ambler/1929,” the date Ambler donated the material to the State Archives.
