Title | Will Route Parkway Around Reservation (Page 1 of 2) |
Date | July 9, 1935 |
Description | This article reports that the planned Blue Ridge Parkway will not cross the Cherokee Indian reservation as had been originally planned, due to a refusal on the part of the Cherokee council to grant the right-of-way through their land. Instead, says the article, the parkway will skirt the reservation on a ridge-top route.
