This letter to the editor, titled “Site for the Appalachian National Park,” was sent out by the Appalachian National Park Association. The written number at the top of the printed page suggests that 500 of these were printed and distributed. The focus of the letter is the location of the proposed park. When first formed in 1899, 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.
