This 8-page series of correspondence between J. M. Moore and Mary Harris to C. P. Ambler suggest their ideas on locations for a national park. Chase P. Ambler (1865-1932) was a founding member and long-time secretary of the Appalachian National Park Association. The association promoted the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. Originally, the association favored western North Carolina as the sole site for a proposed national park, but soon expanded their vision to include more of the southern Appalachian mountains.
