POTLUCK Message delivered:"The Great Smoky Mountains are Saved."
In 1929, newspapermen from North Carolina and Tennessee hiked from opposite sides of Clingmans Done, the highest muntain in the Great Smokies, for an important celebration. Although the country was entering the Great depression, citizens from both states raised enough money to help create a new national park. J.R. Horne loaned his homing pigeon, Potluck, for the expedition. After the journalists shook hands across the stateline on Clingmans Dome, they released Potluck to carry heir goodwill message home. Both states had come together in spirit of friendship to portect their precious forests.
