Cades Cove is one of the most visited places in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Before the park, though, this little Appalachian valley was the home of a vibrant community with a history that spanned over a century.
Today we share a little bit of that history in this short video, with the story of an old man who fought to protect Cades Cove and its people from Confederate raiders during the Civil War.
