Interesting. My ancestors settled the Cades Cove valley in the early 1700s, but after the war between the states, moved into the Gatlinburg, Maryville and Sevierville area. I still have hundreds of kinfolk there, but have not visited for almost 50 years. Might be about time.

This was wonderful to read after getting back from spending time in the southern Appalachians! It is a captivating wilderness.
