13 of the spring and summer of 1901 in destructiveness. It is estimated by competent authority that the total damages of all kinds along these mountain streams during the past twelve months exceed $18,000,000. I give below a detailed statement of this estimate, which will show how widespread and extensive were these damages, affecting the people of more than half a dozen States. These estimates have been made with great care by men who are familiar with each of these regions and who have investigated this matter with considerable thoroughness. Storm damages on streams rising in the proposed Appalachian forest reserve between April, 1901, and April, 1902. Kanawha, adjacent streams (in Virginia and West Virginia) $1,500,000 Roanoke, James, etc. (in Virginia) 1,000,000 Watauga (in North Carolina and Tennessee) 2,000,000 Nolichucky (in North Carolina and Tennessee) 2,000,000 French Broad (in North Carolina and Tennessee) 1,500,000 Tuckaseegee and Hiawassee 1,500,000 Broad, Saluda, and Catawba (in South Carolina) _ 1,000,000 Yadkin, Dan, and Roanoke (in North Carolina) 1,000,000 Catawba (in North Carolina) 2,000,000 Savannah and Chattahoochee (in Georgia) 1,500,000 Coosa (in Georgia and Alabama) _. 2,000,000 Tennessee and other tributaries 1,000,000 Total 18,000,000 Both tradition and records show that there have been storms in this southern Appalachian region at intervals during the past one hundred years perhaps as violent as those of the past twelve months, but never before have such floods and such damages resulted. During the few past decades, and even during the past few years, the floods have been increasing in violence and destructiveness, and almost in proportion as the forest destruction has progressed. And these have been greater in those regions where the cleared land was in largest proportion. As this deforestation progresses, as it will progress with the increase of population and the lumbering in this section, the loss from these floods will also increase. The fact that these disastrous floods are the direct result of deforestation is supported both by theory and ample and indisputable data. Until recent years no such results have followed even the heaviest and longest- continued rainfall. Now, Mr. President, the effects of this deforestation are not local. The destruction of land and of property from this cause, it is true, is greater in the mountain and. the adjacent plateau regions, but the effects extend to the very mouth of the streams which take their rise in these mountains. The river channels are being silted up all the way to the harbor on the coast; the water powers which extend along these streams for from 100 hundred to 200 miles from their sources are gradually losing their value, and the farm bordering these streams for even greater distances are being destroyed both by floods and by washing. This applies to all of the great rivers of the South Atlantic States—the Potomac, the James, the Roanoke, the Pedee, the Congaree, the Altamaha—and to other important rivers emptying directly or indirectly into the Gulf, such as the Chattahoochee, the Alabama, the Tennessee, and the Kanawha, which is one of the most important tributaries of the Ohio. Mr. BACON. You omitted to name the Savannah River. Mr. SIMMONS. Yes; the Savannah is another important river taking its rise in these mountains, and there are others I 5333

Early on, the Appalachian National Park Association met with legislative success. In 1900, a bill passed authorizing funds to investigate the possibility of a national park in the eastern U.S. and, in December 1901, Congress introduced a bill to purchase land. While the Appalachian National Park Association initially argued for a national park, it used the terms “national park” and “forest reserve” somewhat interchangeably. As the bill made its way through Congress, funds were earmarked for a “forest reserve” rather than a “national park.” Unfortunately, when a separate bill was re-introduced in 1902, Congress was not able to reconcile the two bills and they failed.
