Abstract:

Great Smoky Mountains National Park was less developed in North Carolina when compared to successful improvements to the park in Tennessee during the 1940s. Part of the problem was a Cherokee Reservation unwilling to compromise with government demands to upgrade and draw in more tourist profits. In 1946 the matter was not fully resolved because of increasing government demands met with an unyielding local population.
