Acquisition of property

Government purchasing of real property

Walter Preston Brownlow (1851-1910) was a politician who represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives. In December 1901, Brownlow submitted a bill to purchase lands for the “National Park and Forest Reserve,” naming it for then-President McKinley. Working closely with the Appalachian National Park Association, North Carolina Senator Jeter Connelly Pritchard (1857-1921) had earlier introduced a separate bill in the Senate. Unfortunately, Congress was not able to reconcile the two bills and they failed.
