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.&nbsp;</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.

H.W.BERTR.AM,JUDGE OF SID COURT. The motion of w.F.Dean , Jr., praying said Court to disapprove and to decline to accept the findings of the Board of .AI>praisal Commiss ioners, heretofo re appointe d by said Cou:rt in the above matter, wherein said Board reported , under No. 53 of its findings , as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that the movant was only entitled to 48 acres, which was valued at an average price of $20 .62 per acre, and wherein said Board, under its No. 53-a, further reported that movant was only entitled to the average price of $30.10 per acre for the 157 acres . The grounds of said motion are as follows: under the finding of said Board No. 53, said Board is in error in reportin g that movant only owns 48 acres in that particular tract. The fact is that the deed for said tract calls (1) for 64 acres, 2 roods, and 21 poles, and by a recent calcula tion made by P.B.F. Good, the County Surveyo r, it is shown that said deed calls for 58~are s. There has been no recent survey of the land. (8) The price per acre allowed for the 157 acres of land, reported under 53-a, is manifes tly inadequ ate and confisca tory, because said lands are worth at least $1,500.0 0 more than is al- LAW OFFICES GEO.S.

I ma a e a calculation f~om said deed of the area of said tracts, and find that the two tra cts conta in 58. acres of land. I am informed that the Surveyor for the Conserva- tion Commission reported that s a id tracts contain only 48 acres of land. I believe this to be erroll-3ous. I am informed that these lands have not been actually surveyed for a number of years, and it would seem that the only way accurately to determine the acreage, as I understand there is no dispute about the adjacent boundaries, would be by an actual survey oy-:he same.

The affida vit of W.F.Dean, Jr., to be read in connec tion with the motion filed by him to have the finding s of the Board ot Apprai sal Commi ssioner s disappr oved in connec tion with its findi s No. 56 and No. 53-a. State cf Vtrgin ia, City of Harriso nburg, to-wit : This day w.F.De an, Jr., person ally appeare d before me, F.Flav ia Conver se, a Notary Public in and for the City afores aid, in the State of Virgin ia, in my City afores aid, and, being duly sworn, depose s and says: I am the owner of a tract of land situate near the crest of the Blue Ridge Mounta ins, in the easter n portio n of Rockin gham County , and reporte d by the Board of Apprai sal Commi ssioner s in this matter , under their No.53, as contain ing only 48 acres. My deed oalls for two tracts of land, one contain ing 60 acres, 2 roods, and 21 poles, and the other contain ing 3 acres and 2 roods I have not had the land survey ed, but there has been no questio n raised during the twenty -five years that I have owned it about any of its bounda ries, and so far as I know there was no questio n raised about its bounda ries prior to that time. The Survey or for the Park Commission states in his report that the tract referre d to in the deed as contain ing 60 acres, 2 roods, and 21 poles only contain s 46 acres, and the tract that is referre d to in the deed LAW OFFICES GEO. S. HARNSBERGER HARRISONBUR G . VA. as contain ing 3 acres and 2 roods only contain s 2 acres. I have �,- .. -,2 ... had P.B.F.Good, Surveyor for Rockingham County, make a caloulatioI of the acreage from the metes and bounds given in my deed, and he reports that said t!'acts contain 58.~ acres. · Thus there is a shortage of about 16 acres from the amount of land called for in my deed, according to the calculation of the surveyor for the Parl Commission, and even under Mr.Good's calculation there is a I shortage of about 6 acres. The difference between the calculatioI made by Mr.Good and the calculation made by the Surveyor for the I Commission is about 10½ acres. II I am asking that I be paid for the correct acreage of land to which I am entitled under my deed, I which amount will have to be determined by an actual survey, and as I am apparently entitled to more land than is allowed by the Commission, the survey should be made at the cost of the Commission. The other tract of 157 acres, owned by me and reported by the Appraisal Board under its No. 53-a is not appraised at its true value, but is appraised throughout at a valuation much lower than its fair market value. For example, 68 acres of land is only appraised at $5.00 per acre, which is supposed to cover the wood and timber-land, and the timber and wood are only appraised at ,146.00, making the entire value of the 68 acres only $486.00, or an average value of $7.00 an acre. The wood and timber on this land alone are worth much more than that, there being a great deal of saw timber, to s ay nothing of the wood that can be gotten from said land. The buildings are only appraised a~ ,1,100.00, whereas $2,500.00 of insurance is carried upon the same, which amount of insurance was approved by the representativi~ of the insurance company. The other lands are appraised at about an average of $35.00 per acre, whereas I have been offered for part of this land $100.00 per acre, and wouldn't take it. Ii Fur- there, I paid $6,200.00 for the land in question, and have made LAW OFFICES GEO. S.

Even under presen t condit ions, said proper ty ought to be worth ~s much as I gave for it.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA. --..· STATE COMMISSION ON CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA v. WESLEY A. DEAN and 75 acres of land and improvements in Rockingham County. Filed .in the Ct ,rk' Office Rocktngham County, Va. SEP.Jc 1932 ~.:e1errc On motion of Wesley A. Dean, praying said Court to disapprove and to decline to accept the finding of the Board of Anpraisal Commissioners heretofore appointed by said Court in the above matter, wherein said Board reported under No . 50 of their findings as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that the 76 acres of land with the improvements thereon, found by said · Board to be the property of the moveant was valued at $920.00 . The grounds of said motion are as follows: 1. That the price for said land and improvements is manifestly inadequate as more fully appears from the affidavits attached hereto, which are asked to be read in support of these exceptions. 2. That the finding of said Board was based upon a mis- take of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence nroduced before said Board by the above named party. 3. That the finding of said Board is apparently from the statements contained in its report based upon the physical character of the land alone, without taking into consideration, or at least without giving any effect in its final decision to the income producing capacity of the property, all of which will more readily appear from the affidavits attached hereto, which are asked to be · read in support of these exceptions. �VIRG-n.r LJ Tiill CIRCUIT COURT OF ROO aNGHJiJ I COul::'I'Y.
