Acquisition of property

Construction projects

Government purchasing of real property

Zebulon Weaver (1872-1948) was a lawyer and U.S. Representative from western North Carolina. He was a member of the North Carolina Park Commission and was involved in the land acquisition process that went towards establishment of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and development of the Blue Ridge Parkway. In this letter to Thatcher Weaver puts forth his views with regards to the “Park to Park Highway.” As the representative of North Carolina in the Congress and, as a member of the North Carolina Park Commission, Weaver was interested in a route including Asheville and the Western North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountain. He hoped that Thatcher would favorably consider this issue.
