Newspaper Articles regarding Smoky Mountain National Park Formation

I have gathered through my research a group of eighty articles ranging from 1899 until the 1940's that have some part of the movement to set aside lands for what was to become the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

I did this because of my Great Uncle John Toomey's part in gathering the necessary lands as a purchasing agent in the 1920's along with former Tennessee Gov. Ben Hooper. More on his part can be found on a website I created for who is known as "Father of the Park" Col David C. Chapman. There are eighty articles that follow.
