May 1986 memo Chronology of Events from James
Carter. Cover page A review of the historic
file indicates that while the area has been
called the Pisgah Wilderness, this title was more
to describe the remoteness of the area than to
designate an area in the sense of todays
National Forest Wilderness Item 7 In February
of 1968, The Department of Resources and Economic
Development requested the Governor and Council
for general approval of multi-purpose State Park
in the Pisgah area in order to obtain further
federal assistance from the Bureau of Outdoor
Recreation for the acquisition of land,
engineering and construction. Item 9 In May of
1968, The Governor and Council approved the
proposed multiple-purpose State Park in the
Pisgah Wilderness area comprising some 13,000
acres to be developed to provide optimum
recreation potentials, with each step of the
proceedings on this course to be submitted to the
Governor and Council for their approval.
