Cherokee National Forest : a history / Marci Spencer ; foreword by Lamar Alexander.
Created in 1920, the 650,000-acre Cherokee National Forest lies north and south of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It pays tribute to the heritage in its name and protects an ancient Indigenous burial cave and a portion of the Trail of Tears. By car, foot, horse or watercraft, visitors explore the natural beauties of the region, such as the Highlands of Roan, the Unicoi and Unaka Mountains and the Ocoee, Hiwassee, Nolichucky, Watauga, Tellico and French Broad Rivers. The Appalachian, Benton MacKaye and John Muir Trails and other pathways lead to mountaintop views, rock cliffs, forested coves and gardens of abundant wildflowers. Local author Marci Spencer tells the stories of these wonders and the early settlers, railroad workers, loggers and miners who lived and worked among them.
