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.  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.

(2) That the repor t of the Appr aisal Board is furth er erro �--2.----neous in that it does not take into consideration at all , or place any value on. the manganese ore found to be in and upon said land. for The geological reports~ both the State of Virginia and the united States show tha t said mineral right s are located within the manganese ore-bearing belt along t he western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains . vey. See Bulletin 17 of the Virginia Geological sur- This survey was prepared in co- operation with the United States Geological Survey. The lands in which said mineral rights exist have been partially prospected , and ore of approved analysis has been found , and, from such prospecting as has been done , it is believed that said ores exist in commercial quantities • .AS this tract of land is located about midway between the Palmer lands on Naked Creek and the Harnsberger lands at Elkton and in these.me ore- bearing belt , it is believed that the statement made by ~ . c. J. Bartells and referred to in the reply made by the Palmere is euqally applicable to the mineral rights of exceptant,and the statement attributed to Mr . Bartells and contained therein is aske to be read in connection herewith. t"'"J r- a oo. _. The $ 4 ,> .,,. claimed in this matter is not the full value of the royalty on the ore sought to be taken in these proceedings , but, as the property has to be developed, and as it takes money for such development , no larger sum is asked. The Appraisal Board did not make any allowance for inci dental damages to that portion of your exoeptant 1 s land which are left out of the Park area. In this the Appraisal Board erred , be- cause it is a well known and recognized f a ct in mining that the greater the acreage the more valuable t he mining int erest , for the simple reason that it gives more area for prospecting and development .

The State Commission on Conserva tion and Development of the State of Virginia vs. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others and 52,501 acres of land in Rockingham County. TO HON.H.W.BERTR.AM,JUDGE OF SAID COURT. The motion of R.O.Nizer, praying said Court to disapprove and to deoline to accept the findings of the Board of Appraisal Commissioners, heretofore appointed by said Court in said matter, wherein said Board reported, under No. 40 of its findings, as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that moveant is only entitled to th:t-ee dollars per acre for his lands siauate in the park area, on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the eastern portion of Rockingham County, Virginia. The grounds of said motion are as follows: (1) That the report of sa id Appraisal Board is erroneous, in that it does not take into consideration at all, or plac e any value upon, the manganese ore found to be in and upon said land, although the existence of said ore was clearly pointed out to the Appraisal Board. Reference is here made to the claim filed by moveant before said .A,ppraisal Board for the value placed on said ores by the moveant. (2) That the said Appraisal Board erred in allowing to moveant the totally inadequate and confiscatory sum of $3.00 per acre for his land when moveant paid ~6.00 an acre for the same and when the wood upon said land is worth more than 11:i:: is allowed for the land by said Appraisal Board.

The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia vs. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others and 52,501 acres of land in Rockingham County. The affidavit of Robert O.Nizer, to be read in connection with the motion filed by him to have the findings of the Board of Appraisal Commissioner s disapproved in connection with its finding No. 40. State of Virginia, county of Rockingham, to-wit: R.O.Nizer this day personally appeared before me, ~----' ..;:..;;..~JJ~~(f!,.::..;::_~D~~~· _ A;J a Notary Public in and for the County aforesaid, in the state of Virginia, in my County aforesaid and, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I paid for the land involved in this matter the swn of $6.00 per acre, as shown by my deed for the same. The Board of Appraisal Commissioner s only allowed me ~3.00 per acre, which is not sufficient to pay for the firewood thereon. I have sold some firewood off of the land lying adJa.cent to the land in question, w~ich land was acquired under the same deed, and is the same character of land as that now being condemned by the Commission, and have received considerably more than $3.00 per acre therefor. This character of land independent of any minerals thereon, is to-day worth at least $10.00 per acre. what adjacent lands are selling for. This opinion is based on The land in question lies upon the west slope of RuckleberryM ount&in, which is a spur of the Blue Ridge Mountain, and in what is n~enera lly known as the manganese ore belt, and is situate about three miles from the LAW OFFICES GEO. s. HARNSBERGER HARRISONBURG, VA. Elkton manganese mines. The land clearly shows ou t-croppings �--2--of ore, and ore-pits have been dug upon the adjacent land showing that considerable ore exists even near the surface of these lands. When the Appraisal Board had this matter under consideratio n, I went with them upon these lands , showed them the ore-pits on adjacent land , showed them the out-croppil'.lg s on this land , and, after inspection of the same, the Board gave me to understand my lands contained valuable and rich deposits of ore for which~ it would allow me at least some reasonable compensation . On the contrary, however, its report shows that it made no allowance for minerals at all. In my claim filed in this matter, I set forth the amount that I considered reasonable for the ores and also for the land in question , and I ask that that claim be read in connection with this affidavit. I am informed that Bulletin 17 of the "Manganese Deposits of the West Foot of the Blue Ridge , Virginia", which was "PREPARED IN CO-OPERATION WITH THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY", shows that my land lies in the ore-bearing manganese belt , and as this land is situate between the known ore- bearing lands at Elkton and on Naked Creek and as the ore is shown upon the land itself , there is every reason to believe that ore exists on this property in commero:lal quantities. The Appraisal Board not only informed me , but told others, that there wae a better indication of manganese ore upon my lands than any other land it had examined.

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.  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.

Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case.
