520 _a"At Home in the Smokies: A History Handbook for Great Smoky Mountains National Park" is a historical account produced by the National Park Service in the early 1980s. This handbook commemorates the 50th anniversary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and explores the rich history and cultural narratives of the people who settled in this mountainous region between North Carolina and Tennessee. It provides insight into the lives of the Cherokees and later European settlers who shaped the area, drawing connections to the park's historical sites and the enduring legacy of the mountain communities. The opening of the handbook outlines its thematic structure, focusing first on the immersive natural beauty of the Smokies and its historical significance, before delving into the accounts authored by Wilma Dykeman and Jim Stokely. It highlights the annual homecoming events, where descendants of early settlers gather to celebrate their heritage. In addition, it introduces the complex interactions between the Cherokees and the European settlers, detailing their coexistence and the eventual tensions leading to displacement. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the evolving narrative of life in the Smokies, enriched by the personal stories and historical context that frame this unique American landscape.
