The Heartland Series - Cades Cove: The Home Place
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2020
- Cades Cove has long been a favored destination of visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. But once it was simply home. At the turn of the century 125 lived in Cades Cove. In this special Heartland Series program, several former residents of the cove take us to their home place. Historic photographs and computer images of where homes stood help the once-thriving community of Cades Cove come alive once more.
The Heartland Series is a series of television programs about the culture of Appalachia, produced by WBIR-TV of Knoxville, Tennessee, over the 25-year period 1984 through 2009. The series has been produced on a limited basis since 2010. You can purchase higher quality versions of these stories directly from WBIR.
The people with the thumbs down , there’s not much to say about people like y’all , except that we hope y’all stay out the mountains, .
Maybe the thumbs down were because of what it's become.
They just don’t know any better.
@@marlenalinne6100 - It is a busy place. No doubt
Hoping ain’t enough
Lord have mercy I cried just about through this entire film. I'm from Townsend. My husband's great great Grandfather was Big Will Walker. I'm so heartbroken at what it's become...I mean that too. It's one of those things that keeps me up at night because I don't know how to fight it anymore. The need to be here and put a picture on the internet proving you were has taken over what the Cove used to be. Smeeling isn't a thing on the loop road anymore...now you just smell and taste the fumes of rental side by sides and you can't hear the birds from the roar of the traffic. When I was a kid, Kermit Coughron let me help him with his bees one day. Here I sit at 54 years old talking about it so, that tells what it meant to me. He had such a sweet way about him. I ache for what it used to be just 20 years ago even. I ache for it from my head to my feet and somewhere through the middle of me. Now, I'm gonna go watch this again. And cry, again.
Me too, Kellie. I’m only 33 and feel this in my bones.
Those words hit me hard too!!! My dad has been gone since 2014 and I miss our trips to the cove before it became a tourist trap. I miss the peace, I miss the simplicity of life and at 42 years old I shouldn't feel this tired. My heart aches for the past!
I'm from Mississippi. I'm 52 and have spent my entire life visiting the Smokies. I can also remember it being so different and I yearn for those days too. I'm so glad my parents taught me respect for history and natural beauty. We love to visit, but try so very hard to be respectful. We most enjoy the Cove (and all of the Smokies) by parking and getting out and walking. We love to find quiet places and get away from the noise and traffic. You are so right about the fumes and roaring. Last visit, it was also blaring radios spoiling everything. If you need all that, you just need to stay in town. You are so very lucky to have those wonderful memories.
@@rainbug714 we are blessed to have those memories! I hold onto them tighter every day!
I'm so sorry. I love history and I love Cades cove. I hate the traffic though. I would have loved to be able to grow up in the Smoky Mountains. I love that place. I would love to hear some of ur memories. GOD BLESS!!
My great great grandfather is "Smoke" Sam Burchfield. He was a Cherokee and he lived in Cades Cove and made moonshine. He was on the postcard they sent out at the Expo years ago. I still live in the Smoky Mountains and proud
Hello cousin I'm David Burchfield smoke Sam was my great-grandfathered also my daddy was Elmer Burchfield my grandfather's name was George Burchfield and my grandmother's name was Gracie Mae
@@davidburchfield2720 how do you like that? Meeting a cousin from a RUclips video. Are you from East Tennessee?
@@jackiewilburn3063 you all need to go grab dinner together one of these days. Keep your family together❌♥️❌♥️
Was very touching how the nursing mothers came together to help feed that hungry newborn. Good people!
This is so sad. The least the park could have done was preserve every single home and buildings. I love cades cove and the history.. so amazing
These are some of the people who built our country, quiet, industrious, creative they went about the business of living until they died....
I love the Heartland Series. Im 37 now,but I can remember being in middle school when living in Blount County Tennessee-this would come on either before or after the news before school. I was always mesmerized by it. I still am. East tn is truly a beautiful place. I would love to watch this whole series in its entirety.
Beautiful. I can remember when Kermit still lived there and when they removed his home after he was gone.
I have Caughron DNA, too! These are/were mighty good people!
👏👏👏👏Applause to the community family, friends, who personally formed, what today is termed "Remeber when...." Donnie this video inspires me with it's authentic love. Now to add my prayers, in appreciation to, for The healing power in jesus name to continue your body repairs📖🙏
Best picnic I had was sitting with my husband under a tree at Cades Cove !
I sure miss these dear folks. Miss you grandma Josie & Uncle Maynard Ledbetter & Cousin Randolph Shields & all the old folk family 😢 thankful for your memory & the peaceful beauty of the mountains & heritage of our beloved home place, Cades Cove
My parents took us there often. Said some of our kin lived and was buried there. I have been there many times with my husband and son. It is beautiful. It is true when those people are gone history could be lost. My maiden name was Gallaher, Smith Green, was some of relatives. We were related to alot of people and we do have Cherokee Indian blood.
Neighbors, land and its uses seem to be what makes a community. THANKS to the Heartland Series, this sense of Heritage can still be glimpsed.
Very enjoyable!
I especially like the story of all the nursing mothers coming by to feed the baby. Brought a tear to my eye.
I love going through the Cove when I can.It is so peaceful there. I love to go in the churches and sing .
I was at Cades Cove four years ago in the late fall what a beautiful peaceful place.
Whenever we are there we feel exactly how it was described here. Peace, serenity and at home
I've taught my kids to call their elders grandma grandpa aunt and uncle regardless if they are related or not. Yes ma'am and yes sir have been taught too. I guess I'm just old fashioned that way.
I so love all that history what a wonderful job done and houses farms and people just amazing i would love to watch much more the home land thank you for sharing realy enjoyed it all god bless them 1🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜☘☘💚💚💜
Im 73 years old now, when i was young i camped with my mom and Dad in cades cove, many times Maynard Ledbetter stopped at our campsite to visit!!!
Are you related to Jess Tipton or his family? Jess was my father in law and a man that I loved and respected totally. Another was Luther Gregg, my uncle by marriage and a wonderful human being that we all loved. He was married to my aunt and worked for ALCOA in Calderwood. They grew up as friends and sometime back in the 60 or 70's I was able to bring them together and my regret is that I didn't record their conversations. I was raised in Wears Valley and some of these stories and the landscape of Cades Cove remind me of the early years before it became just another tourist trap as Wears Valley has become, in a lot of ways.
I don't know if it is my covid depression, but this made me tearful. Because it was beautiful.
What makes me tearful is how different it was back then when people helped one another. Now all this hate and separation is just sickening. Those people kept God in their life and that you can believe is what held them together.
I love Cades Cove
Such wonderful memories of Dr. Randolph (Randy) Shields. He was one of my favorite instructors at Maryville College!
Love to see this but kind of makes me sad to. These were good people.
Thank you. That was wonderful. 🙏🏽
I still raise and process my own feeder pigs with my neighbors. Not all the old stuff is gone.
I'm glad they're preserving our family heritage. Although there was some ill from the residents will when they made the park.
My ancestors are from Cades cove. Oliver, shields, carters, and Tiptons. My grandfathers great grandfather was John Oliver.
My kin have traced back to Shields in the cove
Ohhhh to be alive then 🤗
Thanks for video
My Daddy's favorite place to visit 💕
What a great place
I love this place; Russell Gregory was my 3x great uncle.
Russell Gregory was my 3 great grandfather so we must be related
Y'all need to grab dinner one night. Keep your family together ❌♥️❌♥️
"It's like pretty fiddle music, it grabs your heart....if you've got one" Yes ma'am that's a fine description. We're losing more and more of our beautiful mountains, piece by piece and with each acre sold to someone who can't understand her statement. I wish there was a way to only allow those who are of these mountains to have any say so about what happens to them, but the almighty dollar is more important to most than almighty God and so our land gets sold to people who care more about property values than the value of a good neighbor and a quiet evening spent sitting on the porch together
Went this weekend with my son while we camped in Townsend like we have so many times before. It hit me different though because I couldn’t help but think of these people and the settlement but also going back to the Indians who were also forced off their land by the government. It’s kinda like a woman who cheats on her husband that you end up marrying. What makes you think she wouldn’t do it again. And in this case she did and they got booted too. Now just this weekend we got stuck behind a side by side where they were smoking a Blount and had to stop in the middle of the road every time they saw a friggin bird and didn’t have to courtesy to pull off. It’s a shame. Such a beautiful place that just never seems to live up to it’s true purpose. Akers me dream of a place where a good neighbor was worth way more than money.
Loved this! My great, great grandmother was Margaret Cable Crisp, daughter if Samuel Cable who is buried in the little cemetery across from the John Cable mill.
I just love the hart land series!
Where can you find more heartland series?
@@dieselwrench3621 WBIR uploaded the entire series to their youtube channel not too long ago
@@botaniccal hey thanks for letting me know 👍
Great job . I love to go up and ride my bicycle around. Sometimes I’ll cross Rich mountain rd but have beverage gone done the other side. Have no idea where it comes out. Thank you for this incredible documentary
You came out and dry Valley
lOVE THIS!
Beautiful place. Very surprising that all the homes had visitors every week.
I feel these pictures and this music in my very bones. Our ancient Scots-Irish name was MacEacain/MacEachain, McCaughan/McKaughan, and other spellings throughout the centuries.
Absolutely love this ❤️
My younger brother and I walked the complete Loop road in 1957 when Cades Cove was then in its infancy as a National Park highlight. The NPS was hard at work restoring the old houses in that timeframe. We went into just about every old house on the loop road. Our dog had accompanied us and by the time we got back to our campsite we were all tired. I don’t remember, exactly, how many miles it was around the loop road but eight or ten sounds right. It was not a short hike.
Would’ve loved to have seen it during that time
@@zqvyg5479 it was beautiful. Still had a lot of the former owners working at their former home places. Remember that was only 20 years after the government grabbed it to make the Smoky Mountains National Park. We normally split our time between Cades Cove and Deep Creek campground on the other side of the mountains, near Bryson City. That was also when you did not.have to pay to camp and you could stay as long as you wanted.
Awesome ! Appreciated
Beautiful place
This is too sad I know that we’ll be over joyed at the tribulation when God destroys evil people and we will be able to see our dead loved ones again and occupy cades cove and other places without ever worrying again
My grandmother is at 4:35
Such a dear sweet Lady....Bless you
@Chplhill1 We hope to return to Cade’s Cove soon. Do you know if there are any cabins that are being rented there. It’s been years since we’ve been. Your grandmother seemed like a sweet precious lady.
Cades cove is a historical place. No camping at all, and surely no cabins to rent. These people were my ancestors. They needed no law enforcement. They were good, good people that bartered and helped each other. If you want to camp, you do so outside of the 11 mile loop. Bears are prevalent. Take caution. First cabin is John Oliver's. My grandfather's grandfather. I misspoke before. If you like, you may hike to Abrahm's Falls. Please do not disturb this gorgeous valley.
They must have never been to our Eastern United State Mountains, my Family Heritage is Written all over those Hills, wears Valley, Townsend, Cades Cove. Just look at the names on the Head Markers in the Many Cemetery’s located in the Cove, Abbott,Brickey, Brewer, Godfrey, Hembree. . It got its name from the first Settlers came there and almost starved to death.
I think you can get them at libraries.
What happened to all the houses, did the park tear them down
Does anyone know the name of the episode about Tennessee preaching?
The descendants of the homesteaders should still be on all that land but it was taken from them to make money from tourism. That’s one of the worst things our state allowed to happen
My ancestors were east of the Maryville/Alcoa in the 1790’s. Is there anyone who could communicate with me?
You know any Bledsoes or Graves?
Here I wanna smoke
Question is. WHY did our own state allow cades cove to become a spectacle for outsiders.
It’s sad to think about. I wonder what the cove would be like if everyone just left them alone.
Is it just me or does the music seem Irish?
Samuel Harmon is my husbands grandpa
Time in at 4:11 I just said fr what ...taking an killing natives for land not urs
Natives weren't killed. They didn't live in this valley
The land became human history from a choice"... Yeah not by cage cove people...
Y all com bac na 😂
