Abstract:
The Land of Oz is a new theme park located on Beech Mountain at Banner Elk in Western North Carolina. The opening of Oz this year climaxed years of thought, planning and work by the late Grover Robbins and his brother Harry, plus many others who were recruited for the project. The park features all the scenes and characters from Frank L. Baum’s, “Wizard of Oz.”

Abstract:
In 1946, the North Carolina State Park System could only claim two that met park criteria--Morrow Mountain and Hanging Rock. Other parks consisted of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park and some city parks. Pearse compares the state's park system to other states, like South Carolina, which has eighteen, and Tennessee, which has sixteen. Why North Carolina has so few is discussed and there are recommendations for a ten-year plan to develop state parks.
