The Anguish of Displacement: The Politics of Literacy in the Letters of Mountain Families in Shenandoah National Park
Katrina M. Powell
Following Congress's approval of the creation of Shenandoah National Park in 1926, displaced Virginia mountain families wrote to US government officials requesting various services, property, and harvested crops. The collection of 300 handwritten letters that resulted from this relocation reveals a complex dynamic between the people and the government.
