| About Mountain Folks of Old Smoky |
|
The stories found in the Mountain History section of MySmokyMtnVacations are excerpts from the book Mountain Folks of Old Smoky by Veta Wilson King.
A native of Sevier County, Tennessee, Veta has family roots grounded in both sides of the Smoky Mountains - roots that trace back to the area's earliest settlers. She is the only daughter born in the middle of a family of eight sons. While growing up in the Oldhams Creek community near Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg she developed a deep appreciation for her Southern Appalachian heritage. She has spent years interviewing long-time residents of the Smokies and collecting their stories. Mountain Folks of Old Smoky can be purchased at the Sugarlands Visitor Center gift shop or to order by mail contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
