	Shenandoah NP: Shenandoah Stories
		The Rapidan Camp has had many changes, to both the landscape and the structures, since the Hoovers donated it to be included in Shenandoah National Park at the end of his presidency.

		Given Hoover's paranoia and obsessions, it is not unreasonable to assume that there exists a closet full of controversial "suicide" cases which reflect Hoover's tendency to use the influence of his "infallible" FBI to enlist the services of unsuspecting or sympathetic professionals, in his private, covert war against domestic "subversives".
		Hoover considered Marilyn Monroe to be a serious threat to the national security of the United States, and she certainly fanned his paranoia in 1960 when she became a sponsor of SANE, the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy.
		Hoover was particularly obsessed by the struggle in hollywood because he believed that Communists were trying to infiltrate the movie industry and he certainly was not about to let that happen.

		In his widely quoted "Address at Madison Courthouse," delivered on 17 August 1929, Hoover declared fishing to be an "excuse for return to the woods and streams with their retouch of the simpler life of the frontier from which every American springs."
		Although the campsite proved too rustic for his taste, he loved the mountains, whose proximity to Washington influenced his decision to establish the first Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps in the Blue Ridge, where the Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park were being constructed.
