Transcript

ology has been classified into four divisions: sacred myths, animal stories, local legends, and historical traditions. The Cherokees have had many gifted story-tellers, whose minds were filled with these fancy-painted myths and who wanted no greater pleasure than an opportunity to relate them. Among these were: Ayunini, John Ax, James Wafford, Catawba-Killer, and Suyeta, the Chosen One. Ayunini (Old Swimmer) was the greatest of them all. In the streams, the forests, and coves of the Great Smokies dwell the fanciful creatures of Cherokee tradition. It was the Indian's belief that all the little animals, such as rabbits, birds, and snakes, had giant progenitors who were the chiefs of their respective tribes. These chiefs, with the Great Chief of the Forest, lived in the enchanted land above the blue arch of the sky. The giant snake, Uktena, is one of the most important of these great animal ancestors. He was so dangerous that the people were afraid of him and had him removed far away to a place where they kept all things which they feared. When he went, he left others nearly as large as he. They hide in the deep pools in the rivers, and in the lonely passes of the Great Smoky Mountains. The giant of all those remaining haunts Nantahala Gorge, one of the southern gateways to the national park. He is as large around as a tree and on his head there are great horns and a bright blazing diamond, which means death to the Indian who sees it. Every day, this giant snake arches himself like a mammoth measuring worm and goes from one side of the gorge to the other, shutting out the light of day with his huge body. This daily journey is the Indian's way of explaining the day-long twilight of the gorge. The chief of the rabbits was called the Great Rabbit, and in olden times people could see him as he traveled to the rabbit townhouse at Gregory Bald, on the Great Smoky divide. The liears have a chief also. He is called the Great White Bear, and lives at Mulberry Place (Clingman s Dome). 117

Description

This 146-page “Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park” was published in 1933, a year before the park was formally established. In spite of this oddity, the guide does carry the approval of the National Park Service, stated on its cover. The book was printed in a small format as a field guide that could be carried on a hike. Topics covered in the guide include tours and trails, notes on camping and fishing, and sections on flowers and fauna. Separate sections deal with local culture, including “The Highlanders” and “The Cherokee Indians.” The guide was written by George McCoy and George Masa. McCoy was a staff writer for the Asheville Citizen and native of Dillsboro, North Carolina. Photographer George Masa, a native of Japan, was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
