Jeter Connelly Pritchard (1857-1921) was a North Carolina Republican Senator and supporter of the efforts of the Appalachian National Park Association. In December 1899, Pritchard presented the association’s Memorial to Congress petitioning for a national park in the southern Appalachians. The printed Memorial enumerates the reasons to establish a national park. Formed in 1899, the Association was housed in Asheville, North Carolina. As a multi-state effort, it attracted representatives from six southern states.
