Early Settlers

Homestead, Oconaluftee Mountain Farm, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina

The Oconaluftee bottomlands were first settled by 
European/Americans in the 1790's,
just below Rattlesnake Mountain, seen in the distant mist.
 This exhibit of a mountain farm consists of reconstructed log structures
brought in to give visitors a sense of what it was like
 to live as early Appalachian homesteaders.

    I suppose they were glad to have the smallest cabin as protection from the winters. I really like your shot with the misty look obscuring the distant items. Well done.
