- Description:
- The primary intent of this paper is to examine the impact of commercial development on the historical integrity of the Richmond National Battlefield Park. This study is significant because protection and preservation of national historic sites are vital to all Americans for, in most cases, such sites cannot be replaced with land of irreplaceable scenic beauty. The major finding is that the Richmond National Battlefield Park is in a crisis situation because of increased carbon monoxide, overcrowding of park facilities, construction of interstate highway, and commercial developments. In this study, primary data were obtained by utilizing the following data collection techniques: (1) personal interviews, (2) personal on-site visits to park units. Secondary data were obtained from pamphlets, books, government documents, research studies, and newspaper articles.
