Why read it?
1 author picked Cades Cove as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not only a reference book, this fact-filled book has tons of details and interesting people; often, it reads like a narrative, delving readers like me right into the corn fields, one-room schoolhouses, and lives of mountain folk.
I loved this book because it gave me a full-circle picture of Cades Cove and its surrounding areas. I love learning the true stories–good and bad–of the people who lived in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park before it became a park, and this book delivers.
From Catherine's list on Smoky Mountain history.
