Introduction The Sequatchie Valley Scenic Byway runs through Marion, Sequatchie, and Bledsoe counties within the Sequatchie Valley and extends northward along U.S. 127 through Crossville in Cumberland County, eventually connecting to Interstate 40. One of the most picturesque regions of Tennessee, it is also one of the least disturbed by modern development. Sequatchie Valley still bears the appearance of a highly productive agrarian landscape hemmed in by the mountains on either side. Rich in history and offering many opportunities for outdoor recreation, agritourism, and experiencing regional folk culture, the Sequatchie Valley Scenic Byway is poised to become one of Tennessee’s newest destinations. Sequatchie Valley Sign The Byway was envisioned as an economic development tool by local officials and community leaders of the three lower counties of the Sequatchie Valley (Bledsoe, Sequatchie, and Marion), working in conjunction with the Southeast Tennessee Development District and the Southeast Tennessee Tourism Association. This Corridor Management Plan (CMP), which provides a basic framework for establishing the Byway and developing it as an effective economic enhancement strategy, was funded in 2012 from a National Scenic Byways grant from the Federal Highways Administration administered by the Tennessee Department of Transportation with match funding from the Southeast Tennessee Development District. The stated intents of the CMP, as outlined in the original Request for Proposals (RFP), are to: 1. Determine a cohesive identity for the route. 2. Document and inventory the significant resources along the route. 3. Produce plans for preserving, protecting, and managing these resources. 4. Create a marketing plan for economic development based on the identified resources in character with their intrinsic qualities. 5. Solicit public and private support for the project. 6. Produce a final document. The RFP selection process resulted in the selection of a project team led by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The project was awarded in March 2012. The majestic Sequatchie Valley is one of Tennessee’s most dramatic landscapes. Its geographic and geological characteristics shaped its history and culture. Valley residents recognize that they live in a singular and special place, and generations of wise use and stewardship for the land have preserved its scenic beauty. The landscape dominates everything in the Valley and is the key intrinsic quality upon which the Byway is based. 5 October 2012 | Prepared for: Southeast Tennessee Development District | Prepared by: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. & Pawpaw Partners October 2012 | Prepared for: Southeast Tennessee Development District | Prepared by: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. & Pawpaw Partners CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN The Valley offers many resources that can entice visitors with a wide variety The Great Valley of of interests.

Durham The State of State History in Tennessee in 2008 The Underground Railroad in Tennessee to 1865 A Report by State Historian Walter T. Durham Tennessee State Library and Archives Department of State Nashville, Tennessee 37243 Jeanne D. Sugg State Librarian and Archivist Department of State, Authorization No. 305294, 2000 copies November 2008. This public document was promulgated at a cost of $1.77 per copy. Preface and Acknowledgments In 2004 and again in 2006, I published studies called The State of State History in Tennessee. The works surveyed the organizations and activities that preserve and interpret Tennessee history and bring it to a diverse public. This year I deviate by making a study of the Under- ground Railroad in Tennessee and bringing it into the State of State History series. No prior statewide study of this re- markable phenomenon has been produced, a situation now remedied. During the early nineteenth century, the number of slaves escaping the South to fi nd freedom in the northern states slowly increased. The escape methodologies and ex- perience, repeated over and over again, became known as the Underground Railroad. In the period immediately after the Civil War a plethora of books and articles appeared dealing with the Underground Railroad. Largely written by or for white men, the accounts contained recollections of the roles they played in assisting slaves make their escapes. There was understandable exag- geration because most of them had been prewar abolitionists who wanted it known that they had contributed much to the successful fl ights of a number of slaves, oft times at great danger to themselves.

Literature Cited…………………………………………………………………. 15 2 LITTLE SEQUATCHIE COVE The Sequatchie River watershed covers an area of approximately 601 square miles and, as part of the Tennessee River drainage basin, it has approximately 909.3 stream miles (Tennessee, Ch. 1). Technically this watershed begins with a massive spring flowing from Devilstep Hollow Cave—a large limestone cavern. However, due to the karst nature of the watershed, there are hundreds of feeding streams that come from smaller caves. In particular, the section of watershed concerning this plan is the Little Sequatchie River. The Little Sequatchie is characterized as 19.6 miles of plateau escarpment by the state of Tennessee (Tennessee, Ch. 2). Due to the higher velocity and rockiness of a plateau stream, there is less fishing and recreation value in the Little Sequatchie watershed than in the larger Sequatchie watershed. However, it has a higher scenic ranking.

What were the successes and failures of TVA? When Franklin Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, the nation was in the depths of the Great Depression. Nearly 25% of American workers were unemployed and people throughout the nation were struggling to survive. Roosevelt promised to implement a program of relief, recovery and reform called the New Deal. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was one of the agencies created during the first one hundred days of the New Deal. During the 1920’s George Norris, Senator from Nebraska, had tried to secure support for a multipurpose development in Muscle Shoals, Alabama where the government owned a large fertilizer plant. Roosevelt expanded the scope and size of Norris proposal to encompass the entire watershed of the Tennessee River. TVA was given a number of goals: prevent flooding, improve navigation, help farmers, provide cheap electricity, and form a strategic plan for the region. The Tennessee Valley Region was one of the most depressed parts of the nation. Soil erosion had left much of the farmland ruined. Families scratched out a living on subsistence farms and lived in much the same way as their ancestors a hundred years earlier.
