“Our Mountain Forests” was published in “Country Life in America,” a magazine popular at the beginning of the 20th century. First published in 1901, the magazine appealed to those interested in rural living at a time when America was fast becoming a more urban nation. In this May 1902 issue, Chase P. Ambler (1865-1932) wrote about the “value of mountain forests and the need of preserving them.” Ambler was a founding member and long-time secretary of the Appalachian National Park Association. In 1903, the association changed its name to the Appalachian National Forest Reserve Association and disbanded in 1905.
