15 fairly dry, and its salubrious and invigorating climate make it a Mecca for the sick, the tired, and the weary. The American people as a whole are great lovers of nature, and this tendency should be encouraged. Now more than ever our children, even in their kindergarten days, are taught to see and understand the natural life about them. Our forefathers enj oyed the wild woods of this country, and we of to-day take pleasure in visiting, when we can find them, forests and streams as our forefathers saw them. We may not now appreciate fully this phase of the subject, but before the present century has passed there will be in this country east of the Mississippi River a hundred million people, and unless some such measure as that now proposed is adopted by this Government there will then be within all this region but few acres of that original forest to be found. As we look forward to these increasing millions, it is one of our duties to anticipate their needs and wishes, and for this they will be grateful, just as we now are grateful for the blessings which our forefathers left to us. With these increasing millions there will be the increasing need for such places of recreation and rest. We have now the opportunity of doing so without great cost, and I think it is our duty to perpetuate these wonderful forests and streams which if once destroyed are destroyed forever, but which if now preserved can be easily perpetuated, the benefits of which protection begin at once and continue indefinitely. In short, Mr. President, the establishment of this reserve will protect from the vandalism of avarice the finest hard-wood forests on the continent: its proper management under trained Government foresters will not only perpetuate a supply of valuable hard-wood timber but will also work an incalculable benefit as a perpetual object lesson in showing to the American people how such a forest can be utilized by succeeding generations without being destroyed; it will preserve the regular flow of these numerous and large mountain streams, thus protecting from inundation and destruction the fertile agricultural lands bordering these streams through many States. It will preserve unimpaired for indefinite time the many valuable water powers on these various streams, thus sustaining great and varied manufacturing interests. It will greatly benefit the commerce of all this portion of the country by continuing the navigability of its numerous rivers; and finally it will supply the need, already beginning to be felt, and which will be felt more and more every year, for a great sanitarium where the tired and weary thousands and even millions can for a time get out of the increasing rush of American business life, and in the natural quiet of this great forest, in touch with its picturesque mountains and beautiful streams, breathing its heathful, invigorating air, renew their strength and energies, and thus prolong their lives and labors. Mr. President, I do not desire to detain the Senate further in the discussion of this question. But I wish to say that if the members of the Senate could see that country as I have seen it, could behold with their own eyes and not with the eyes of another the effects of deforestation upon the agriculture and the commerce and the water power of the streams rising in those mountains, if they could see the surpassing beauty and grandeur of that wild and weird country I do not think there would be a sin- 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.
