This 19-page series of documents includes resolutions proposed at a convention sponsored by the Appalachian National Park Association and Asheville Board of Trade. Held on October 25, 1902, the meeting promoted the idea of a national park in the southern Appalachians. Two weeks prior to the event, the Asheville Citizen ran an article noting that “A Hundred Towns and Cities Are Asked to Take Part.” Indeed, the convention was a success with 1,500 people from various states attending.
