A passage describes Anne Davis's influence in the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The 146-page “Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park” was published in 1933, a year before the park was formally established. In spite of this oddity, the guide does carry the approval of the National Park Service, stated on its cover. The book was printed in a small format as a field guide that could be carried on a hike. Topics covered in the guide include tours and trails, notes on camping and fishing, and sections on flowers and fauna. Separate sections deal with local culture, including “The Highlanders” and “The Cherokee Indians.” The guide was written by George McCoy and George Masa. McCoy was a staff writer for the Asheville Citizen and native of Dillsboro, North Carolina. Photographer George Masa, a native of Japan, was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
These two sheets of data were compiled during the 1960 Census and reflect population statistics for the city of Ann Arbor and the greater Washtenaw County. While Census data often fails Black and Brown people, it is critical to note how almost 40% of the recorded Black population of Ann Arbor was noted to live within Census Tract WA-0007, which roughly corresponds to the North Central and Northeastern areas of the city. Moreover, much can be gleaned from looking at the non-white populations and class dynamics of surrounding tracts to understand the shape of segregation in the city and county.
A pamphlet published by the SDS in 1966, collecting excerpts from the "Port Huron Statement," a statement clarifying SDS's founding convention. The statement was first drafted in 1962, and was edited several times during the Vietnam War period. Therefore, it includes SDS's proposals for peaceful solutions to the Vietnam crisis. From 1962 to 1966, SDS printed and reprinted 65,000 copies of the pamphlet in total to distribute among college students all over the U.S. for a price of 10 cents per copy, aiming at both propagating its ethos and recruiting new student members. The copy presented here is the third edition of the pamphlet.
