“The Great Smokies” is a 27-page brochure published by the North Carolina National Park Commission, also known as the North Carolina Park Commission. The brochure features two essays, “The Last of the Eastern Wilderness,” by Horace Kephart (1862-1931) and a shorter statement titled, “Secretary of the Interior” by Hubert Work who served as Secretary from 1923 until 1928. Kephart’s essay, previously published in “The World’s Work” in April 1926, distinguishes between the Smokies and the Blue Ridge. He writes in anticipation of the establishment of two new national parks, Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee.
