Today we associate Gat- linburg with hotel rooms, kid-friendly museums, rides, tourist traps, mountain scenery and hiking. A century ago, practically no one foresaw this. Gatlinburg and the forests and mountains surrounding it were just another place for heavy industry. You see, long before there was a paved road to Gatlinburg, there was the Knoxville, Sevier- ville and Eastern Railroad. The KS&E connected Knoxville to Sevierville by 1909. Seven years later it announced that it would be extended to Gatlinburg. “A Knoxville to Gatlinburg railroad?” you may wonder. “Wouldn’t that have been great for tourism?” Not exactly. This was long before the Great Smoky Moun- tains National Park and the Space Needle. If you read newspapers of that era, you will find that the railroad had a different purpose altogether: “It is the belief of many, who have been in the country between Sevierville and Gatlin- burg, that the line will result in great development of the tim- ber resources of that section,” reported the Sept. 30, 1916, Knoxville Journal Tribune. “As soon as the road is com- pleted, the iron ore land and the timber land will be worked, and that section of the country will be alive industrially as it has never been before,” said the Feb. 7, 1917, Knoxville Sentinel. “Knoxville manufacturers will be given access to some high- grade magnesium iron ore.” A few months later, the Jour- nal Tribune published a long article about Sevier County’s business potential. It mentioned lumber, limestone quarries, the Walker Milling and Produce Company, the Sevierville Mills and the Dixie Canning Com- pany. There was no mention of day hikers, T-shirt shops, and the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum because back then no one could foresee a time when ordinary people owned cars and took family vacations to the mountains. By 1920 there were in- dications that the railroad was paying dividends in the “development” of Gatlinburg and the area around it, to the delight of business leaders in Knoxville. In 1920 the LeConte Hardwood company began clear-cutting a 20,000 acre tract of virgin forest between Elkmont and Gatlinburg. Two years later, a school desk factory called Sevier County Manufacturing was organized in Gatlinburg. “The plant is lo- cated in the great hardwood belt and has excellent waterpower for its operation,” the May 10, Originally, Gatlinburg was to be clear cut and mined 1922, Sentinel reported. Also, to put this in context: heavy logging was also taking place on the other side of the Tennessee Smokies—in the area between Townsend and Elkmont. However, it was in the midst of all this “development” that people did vacation in Gatlin- burg, staying at places such as the Mountain View Hotel (which opened in 1916). Many of them fished, hiked and contemplated whether it made more sense to preserve the scenery rather than tear it down. According to “Birth of a National Park in the Great Smoky Mountains” by Carlos Campbell, the people most responsible for “starting the ball rolling” on the idea of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park were Anne and Willis Davis of Knoxville. In 1923 the couple vacationed out west and saw some of the early national parks. On the way back, they talked about the idea of a national park in the Smoky Mountains, an idea that they soon began introducing to civic organiza- tions in Knoxville. The story of how their idea grew; how Anne Davis got elected to the Tennessee General Assembly; how she helped convince Governor Austin Peay and the U.S. De- partment of the Interior that the Smoky Mountains would make a great national park is another column. I just want us to remember that, for a time, Gatlinburg and the area around it were viewed as place to be mined and clear cut. (Bill Carey is the founder and executive director of Tennessee History for Kids, a non-profit organization that helps teachers cover social studies. He’s also the author of several history books and a former Capitol Hill reporter.) The Mountain View Hotel in Gatlinburg opened in 1916. With the COVID virus still raging, the world keeps moving along. The space capsule landed safely last week after carrying 4 civilians into space.

Jeff Gibbs and Shawn Da- vidson were my guests Friday and Saturday. The boys are from Hendersonville and took time from their busy schedules to help me with selections for the reconstruction of my house. Progress appears slow, but I am assured it will move faster in the building now. I am very grateful for the help Jeff is giving me as I haven’t been aware of the changes in buildings. The Hardin County Fair is in progress this week with enter- tainment and fun for everyone. I hope to be able to go through the exhibit building and view the displays of our local citizens. Fair going was always an enjoyable experience for my family. Our Eureka Church fair committee is hard at work pro- viding food for fair attendees. We provide delicious food and the profits help our building fund. With several out sick we appre- ciate the help given by friends. We are saddened at the death of our friend and church member, Nelson Talley. Nelson lived in this community all his life and attended Eureka Elemen- tary School and Eureka United Methodist Church. He and wife, Geraldine, raised their 4 children here and have many grandchil- dren and greats. Nelson’s funeral was Monday and he was laid to rest at Hardin County Memorial Gardens. Our sympathy to all the family. Yay Tigers! The HCHS Tigers were victorious Friday night at Henderson in the big game with the Chester County Eagles. Once again I am proud to listen to the play by play commentators on radio. With our pastor and Elizabeth sick we were pleased at Eureka Church to have Bob and Kristie Armstrong as guest speakers for services Sunday morning. Kristie, a cancer survivor gave a great testimony on her battle and faith that gets them through each day. I was happy to visit my friends at First United Methodist Sun- day and worship with them. My daughter, Gaye, presented the special music, and I was proud to be present. The beautiful chimes playing as I left the sanctuary were a great way to end this special time of worship.

Hindsight’s 20/20, and hu-mans have never been able to predict the future.
