Grandfather Mountain (N.C.)
Blue Ridge Parkway (N.C. and Va.)
This is a long report answering objections to routing the Parkway at Grandfather Mountain. It is found in Browning's materials. To verify authorship, see letter, Browning to Weems, 30 September 1957, which had a copy of this document attached and noted that it was "a statement which I have prepared in the hope that it would clarify the badly confused stories which have been published regarding the proposal to build the Parkway across Grandfather Mountain on the high line."
