National parks and reserves

Acquisition of property

Government purchasing of real property

The Appalachian National Park Association drafted a number of resolutions favoring the establishment of a national forest reserve and/or a national park in the southern Appalachians and presented these to southern legislators. In 1901, North Carolina passed a resolution ceding the right to purchase land and acquire title by the federal government; by mid-1901, five other Southern states followed suit.
