Excerpt from At Home in the Smokies: A History Handbook for Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and Tennessee By the early l7o0s, Cataloochee formed a minor portion of the great Cherokee Nation whose towns and villages extended from eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina into northern Georgia. But as time went on, and as the white settlements pushed westward from the wide eastern front, the Chero kees lost dominion over this vast area. In 1791 at the treaty of Holston, the Cherokees gave up Cataloochee along with much of what is now East Tennessee. Five years later the state of North Carolina granted hectares acres), including all of Cataloochee, to John Gray Blount - brother to William Blount, governor of the Territory South of the Ohio River, as Tennessee was then called. Blount kept the land for speculation, but it eventually sold for less than one cent per hectare. Now that the Cherokees had relinquished the land, no one else seemed to want it. Even the famous Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
