4. all of the lumber is hand dressed, should be included. One or two of the poorly constructed boxed houses will be sufficient to illustrate the effect of the coming of the lumbering industry on the life of the mountain folk. There are instances where the groups of buildings are so complete that they contain nearly all types of buildings. One of the finest examples is the Walker Sisters' Place in Little Greenbrier, near Elkmont, Tennessee. (See pages 6 to 15). The domestic groups should be furnished with artifacts which would tell the complete story of the arts and crafts, home manufacturing and many activities necessarily a part of the self-sustaining life of the mountain folk. (See pages 9, 10, 11 and 13). Industrial history has an Important place in the community group. All methods of making meal, from the primitive pestle and mortar to the mill powered by the steel turbine, are to be found within the park or just outside its borders. Cutting lumber with the pit saw and gate or reciprocating saw, methods which disappeared many years ago in the outside world, were retained here.

NationalPark There are some types of industries which only fragmentary evidence thereof remains. All available data concerning these vanishing industries should be compiled so that examples of these industries can be restored. One type of mill which has almost completely vanished is the gate-saw mill. The only mill of this type found, of which any considerable portion is still intact, is located near Cashiers Val3sey, North Carolina. (See pages 26,27, and 28). Examples of these mills and industries should be preserved In the field museums; they should be in operating condition and whenever possible they should be operated when visited by the tourist.

This 28-page book, “Study for the Preservation of Mountain Culture,” was written by Charles S. Grossman (1900-1972) for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. An architect by trade, Grossman worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps, but spent most of his time on historic preservation. In the 1930s, he began an inventory of existing structures in the park, cataloguing more than 1,500 structures. This 1937 report highlighted the results of the historic buildings survey and advocated for a “policy or program to preserve this wealth of material” before “it is destroyed and lost.” Grossman rightfully concluded that much could be learned about pioneer life from studying its material culture.
