Super-scenic motorway [electronic resource] : a Blue Ridge Parkway history / Anne Mitchell Whisnant.

Summary:

The most visited site in the National Park system, the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway, winds along the ridges of the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia and North Carolina. According to most accounts, the Parkway was a New Deal "Godsend for the needy, " built without conflict or opposition by landscape architects and planners who traced their vision along a scenic, isolated Southern landscape. The historical archives relating to this massive public project, however, tell a different and much more complicated story, which Anne Mitchell Whisnant relates in this revealing history of the beloved roadway.
