We are committed to conserving natural resources in and around Great Smoky Mountains National Park! The images used on the front and back covers are If your soul can belong to provided through the generosity, time, and talent of a place, mine belongs here. Genia Stadler of Sevierville, Tennessee. 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.

  • An Archaeological Inventory of Alamance County, North Carolina
    AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVENTORY OF ALAMANCE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Alamance County Historic Properties Commission August, 2019 AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVENTORY OF ALAMANCE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA A SPECIAL PROJECT OF THE ALAMANCE COUNTY HISTORIC PROPERTIES COMMISSION August 5, 2019 This inventory is an update of the Alamance County Archaeological Survey Project, published by the Research Laboratories of Anthropology, UNC-Chapel Hill in 1986 (McManus and Long 1986). The survey project collected information on 65 archaeological sites. A total of 177 archaeological sites had been recorded prior to the 1986 project making a total of 242 sites on file at the end of the survey work. Since that time, other archaeological sites have been added to the North Carolina site files at the Office of State Archaeology, Department of Natural and Cultural Resources in Raleigh. The updated inventory presented here includes 410 sites across the county and serves to make the information current. Most of the information in this document is from the original survey and site forms on file at the Office of State Archaeology and may not reflect the current conditions of some of the sites. This updated inventory was undertaken as a Special Project by members of the Alamance County Historic Properties Commission (HPC) and published in-house by the Alamance County Planning Department. The goals of this project are three-fold and include: 1) to make the archaeological and cultural heritage of the county more accessible to its citizens; 2) to serve as a planning tool for the Alamance County Planning Department and provide aid in preservation and conservation efforts by the county planners; and 3) to serve as a research tool for scholars studying the prehistory and history of Alamance County.

  • 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.

  • The Etiquette and Protocol of Visiting Cades Cove Cemeteries
    APPENDIX: THE ETIQUEttE AND PROTOCOL OF VISITING CADES COVE CEMETERIES A book about the cemeteries of Cades Cove is an invitation to visit those cemeteries in a way that gives them a visibility and a recognition they may not have previously had. Those driving Loop Road in the cove are invited to pull into one of the churches, enter its sanctuary, and walk the grounds around its graveyard. This underscores our responsibility to reiterate National Park Service (NPS) regulations for cemetery visi- tors within the park. They are simple. Visit the cemeteries with the rev- erence, dignity, and respect you would exercise visiting the burial places of relatives and friends. You are visiting burial places of those who have family and relatives somewhere, many in communities nearby, and on any given day, as we found doing our research, family descendants come to pay their respects. Cemeteries have the protocol and a self-imposed “shushing” effect on visitors. They are stereotypically characterized as “feminine” in their qualities, but the intent is understood. Cemeteries are quiet, peaceful, serene, calming, nurturing (spiritually and emotionally), a manifestation of Mother Earth, the womb to which we all return (Warner 1959); in their stillness, they seem 10 degrees cooler. While in the feld, we wit- nessed the demurring effects of cemeteries on visitors.

This hike is strenuous due to length and rocky terrain. It is a steady climb starting out along an old jeep trail and becomes a footpath surrounded by a wide variety of plant life. Moss and lichen cover everything. Between the first and second of the log bridges you’ll see some of the largest trees in the park. This trail also passes through some impressive boulder fields, climbing steadily as it winds back and forth across streams (most have footbridges or should be easy to rock-hop) until the Cascades are reached. These are the highest falls in the park accessible by trail. Total elevation gain: 2,250 feet over 4 miles. Total elevation loss: ditto. 8:00 Breakfast & pack sack lunch 8:45 Departure for Finley Cane group • Finley Cane/West Prong Trails, easy, 6 miles This short, wonderful hike ends right out our backdoor and provides ample opportunities along the way to discover what’s going on in nature. Expect neither giant climbs nor extraordinary views; instead this enjoyable woodland walk is filled with many small surprises.
