Walter Preston Brownlow (1851-1910) was a politician who represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives. By November 1903, when this bill was proposed, the Congressional tide had turned from the creation of a national park to the creation of a national forest. Initiated by the Appalachian National Park Association, in 1903, the association changed its name to the Appalachian National Forest Reserve Association and disbanded in 1905.
