Excerpt from Mountain Home: The Walker Family Farmstead, Great Smoky Mountains National ParkThis booklet is based on research into the history of the Walker family and on a study of their home (in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park) and the home's furnishings. These reports, prepared by Park Service personnel, have been combined into a single volume to provide a greater appreciation of the Appalachian Mountain people and their ways. It is offered as a tribute to those people who met the challenge of the mountains and who took delight in the life that those mountains gave.The Great Smoky Mountains National Park not only preserves some of the most scenic areas of the Appalachians, it also testifies to the fortitude of those first settlers who came to its densely forested peaks and valleys. These first families, arriving in the late 1700's, used old Indian trails through the mountains and along the streams. They cleared the land for crops, orchards, and grazing. Some became dissatisfied and moved on in the 1830's to Georgia's newly opened Indian lands. However, their vacated farms were soon reoccupied by new families.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
