�l'he basic difference s between Petitione r and this
1
exceptant are as to the classifica tion and value of the land,
and improveme nts, buildings and timber values.
Although we believe the values reported by the
Petitione r's appraiser s were very liberal and that the findings
of the Board of Appraisal Commissio ners as to values are substantially too high, we have accepted and will not seek a lower
valuation than their findings as shown on the above tables 1n
this case.
As to the classifica tion of the land and the other
elements of value we submit that these matters are correctly set
forth in the Work Sheet of ~he Board with reference to this case,
and not as set forth in exceptant ts statement s.
'l'his Work Sheet
is filed with the record and a copy of this Work Sheet is submitted
with copy of the record tendered herewith, and additiona l copies
of the Work Sheet in this .c ase will be furnished if desired.

An account of the resource
The first series of <span>the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. </span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.<br /><br />For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.<br /><br />I<span>n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.
