Seeking a taste of unspoiled wilderness, more than nine million people visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park each year. Daniel S. Pierce explores how park supporters set about raising money to buy the land, and describes the fierce infighting between wilderness advocates and tourism boosters over the shape the park would take. He also discloses the unfortunate human cost of the park's creation: the displacement of the area's inhabitants.
