Letter from Charles L. Davis to Ethan Allen Hitchcock

Subject(s): National parks and reserves--Management

After being named acting superintendent of the newly-created Sullys Hill National Park, Charles L. Davis provides Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock with information about the geographical features and flora and fauna in the park. It is one of very few wooded areas in North Dakota, and Davis believes it should be developed so that it can grow into a popular retreat for the public. Davis estimates it will need a $6000 appropriation for development and upkeep.
