This 4-page document is a 1901 “Report of Investigations upon the Forests of the Southern Appalachian Mountain Region.” In 1900, the Appalachian National Park Association submitted a Memorial to Congress and, on May 25, 1900, a bill passed authorizing funds to investigate the possibility of a national park. Although the organization had major successes early on, their efforts met with resistance and the organization disbanded in 1905.
