This report is a summary in narrative form. It summarizes the legislative history, personal interviews, newspaper clippings, and the assorted memoranda that explained the events that led to the passage of Title XI of the National Park and Recreation Act of 1978. The New River Gorge National River is the result of concerted efforts by local West Virginia citizens. It is hoped that the following pages recognize that cooperative effort.
