Promotional materials

Produced by the North Carolina Park Commission, this 20-page brochure was published in 1925. “A National Park in the Great Smoky Mountains” includes a few poems by various authors and a lengthy essay by Horace Kephart (1862-1931), author of “Camping and Woodcraft” (1906) and “Our Southern Highlanders” (1913). In his essay, Kephart argues for the establishment of a national park in the southeastern U.S., making a case for its placement to include the Great Smoky Mountains. Also included in the brochure are photographs of sites within the boundary of the proposed park. The photographs are attributed to the Smoky Mountain Conservation Association, based in Knoxville, Tennessee.
