Genia Stadler When asked to describe herself and her love for the Smokies, she said, “I was born in Alabama, but Tennessee always felt like home to me. My love for the Smokies started as a small child. My daddy brought me here each summer before he passed away. I was 9 when he died, and by then I had fallen in love with the Smokies. My husband (Gary) and I had the chance to build a cabin and move here in 2002, so we jumped at the chance. Since then, we’ve been exploring the park as often as we can. We’ve probably hiked over 300 miles of the park’s trails (many repeats), and I’m trying to pass my love for this place on to my two children and two grandchildren.

  • Fort Harry: a Phenomenon in the Great Smoky Mountains
    The Blount Journal, Fall 2003 FORT HARRY: A PHENOMENON IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK Submitted By Pete Prince, author of ©Ghost Towns in the Great Smokies Seasoned hikers in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park claim echoes of the Cherokee Indians are still heard at the site of the old Civil War fortification within the Park, yet ten million tourists annually drive through the site of Fort Harry unaware such a place ever existed. The site of this historical fort is unmarked and unnoticed on a main highway in the nation's most visited park. Fort Harry, a Confederate fort, was built in 1862 by Cherokee Confederate troops and white Highlanders. The fort was to prevent Federal forces from Knoxville and East Tennessee from destroying the Alum Cave Mines on the side of Mount LeConte which provided gunpowder and chemicals for the Confederacy. Built on a bluff. Fort Harry looked straight down on the Old Indian Road leading to Indian Gap, the Oconaluftee Turnpike and Western North Carolina. The Federal troops did raid Western North Carolina but it was by way of Newport, Asbury Trail, Mount Sterling, Cataloochee, Waynesville and Oconalufree. Fort Harry was at the 3300-foot elevation of the Great Smoky Mountains eight miles south of Gatlinburg, TN. The Confederate army confiscated the Sugarlands farm of Steve Cole for Fort Harry. Cole Creek is nearby. Fort Harry was on a ridge on West Prong Little Pigeon River .03 mile south of today's intersection of Road Prong and Walker Camp Prong. The fort site is on ^ewfound Gap Road 6.0 miles south of the Sugarlands Visitor Center at Gatlinburg dnd 0.5 miles north of the first tunnel at the Chimney Tops parking area on Newfound Gap Road.
