Brevard as a possible national park site

Ambler, Chase P., 1865-1932

Appalachian National Park Association

National parks and reserves -- Planning

Formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S., the Appalachian National Park Association originally favored western North Carolina as the sole site for a proposed national park. This 1901 correspondence between J. F. Hays and C. P. Ambler discusses the area around Brevard as a possible site for a national park. Chase P. Ambler (1865-1932) was a founding member and long-time secretary of the Appalachian National Park Association.
