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 [L. W. Shrafur?] states he was sending to Congressman Weaver in Washington copies of the publications-“Great Smoky Mountains” and “Save Our Mountains,” as per the latter’s request.
