Thanks for that info! Great update.

More interference in the private lives of people by the Federal Government - even way back then.

I love the great Smokies, don’t get me wrong - but booting people from their land of generations and not following through on government promises is just as bad as what we have going on today in so many places.

Still looks like this Rep was paid off for his votes.

A great read about what life was like in this area pre-park days can be found in this online copy of Horace Kephart's Our Souther Highlanders

The mountain folk were highly suspicious of government before they were screwed out of their home places.
