National parks and reserves

This series of letters is between John W. Daniel (1842–1910) and Chase P. Ambler (1865-1932), one of the founders of the Appalachian National Park Association. At the time, John Warwick Daniel (1842–1910) was a U.S. Senator from Virginia. In the letters, he declines becoming a promoter of a national park. The Appalachian National Park Association was formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. Although housed in Asheville, North Carolina, the organization was a multi-state effort, attracting representatives from six southern states.
