National parks and reserves

Acquisition of property

This U.S. Senate bill proposes to create an Appalachian Forest Reserve in June 1902. While the Appalachian National Park Association initially argued for a national park, it used the terms “national park” and “forest reserve” somewhat interchangeably. The association raised public support for a national park, but disbanded before the formation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
