About this product

Product Information

With the Commonwealth of Virginia's Public Park Condemnation Act of 1928, the state acquired 3,000 tracts of land that would become Shenandoah National Park, condemning the homes of 500 families. Prompted by the condemnation of their land, the residents began writing letters to National Park and other government officials. This selection of roughly 150 of these letters makes these documents available again.

Reviews
Unlike most U.S. national parks, which were carved out of public lands, Shenandoah National Park was in part created through the condemnation of private lands held by more than 500 families, many of which had been on their land for generations. As condemnations and evictions rolled on and the park grew around them, many of these people wrote government officials--usually in pencil, on ruled paper from school tablets--to negotiate, ask for services, or for other reasons. Frequently poignant, sometimes funny, and with a spirit that belies depictions of the evictees as ignorant, lawless hillbillies, the selection from these letters contained in this volume show a little known aspect of the creation of what is now viewed as a national treasure.
