Book Synopsis
This book explores the people and places of the Sugarlands, once a thriving community in what is now the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Readers will learn the tricks and tips for locating old homesteads and exploring the vitality of the once-thriving community known then as Sugarville. We will look at advice for modern hikers about hiking off-trail, complete with hand-drawn maps that highlight the homesteads of the community, along with other structures like schools and cemeteries. The book concludes with detailed census information of the many individual graves and cemeteries of Sugarville. While it contains specific information of the Cole family (complete with various family pictures), readers who have ancestors from this area will also find the book useful for finding their own ancestral homesteads. It's a must-have for history and hiking folks!
