upon the welfare of the people of these sections, as well as those who live in the neighboring States. In January, 1900, memorials from the Appalachian Mountain Club, of New England, and the Appalachian National Park Association, of the South Atlantic States, were presented before Congress, asking that the Government establish a national forest reserve embracing the steep mountain lands in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. During the years 1900 and 1901 resolutions favoring such action by the Government were passed by the leading scientific societies of the country, by the several forestry associations, by the National Board of Trade, and similar boards of trade and. other commercial bodies in nearly all of the larger Southern and Eastern cities. The legislature in each of the several States which extend into the region of the proposed national forest reserve have, with remarkable unanimity of vote, passed resolutions favoring this measure, and they have also passed acts ceding to the United States the right to own and control the mountain lands which it is proposed to incorporate in this forest reserve. The press of the country has recognized the importance of immediate and speedy action with respect to the question, and has uniformly advocated this measure as one the necessity for which ought not to be limited to any local region, but as extensive as the nation. This statement applies not simply to the local press, but to the important newspapers, journals, and magazines which represent the country as a whole. It also applies to the scientific journals, the trade and lumber journals, the engineering and mining journals, and other technical papers. As a result of this agitation Congress incorporated in a bill making appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30,1901, a provision which authorized the investigation of the conditions of the Southern Appalachian Mountain region, to be conducted under the supervision and direction of the Secretary of Agriculture. The Department of the Interior, through the Geological Survey, cooperated with the Department of Agriculture in this investigation, so as to have it include the condition of the streams, the topography and geology, as well as the forests of the region. In January, 1901, the Secretary of Agriculture submitted a preliminary report of these investigations. His report was submitted to Congress by President McKinley in a message which recommended this measure to the favorable consideration of Congress. A bill was introduced in the Senate during the second session of the last Congress, which provided for the purchase of forest-covered mountains in the States of Virginia, the two Caro- linas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. This bill was reported favorably to the Senate by the Committee on Forest Reservations. Since that date investigations of this subject have been continued by the Department of Agriculture through another year. The Secretary of Agriculture in his final report, submitted December 19, 1901, again recommends that the forest lands in question be purchased by the Government and incorporated into a national forest reserve, and this recommendation by the Secretary is heartily indorsed by the President in his message transmitting the report to Congress. The interest manifested in behalf of this measure furnishes evidence of the fact that the American people are becoming thor- 5241

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.
