WI&BM&mi M^^W^h- -w Ml P -^w^ t LwtA^W Mail ■**■■ 9* &J*^M& — ■ .%^4 gJfefcWtflKl.^SWKf^^^l I SOME OF THE HAZEL CREEK CREW IN 1912. The big man in the center wearing the derby ha^ is Rev. McAfee. No doubt our Old Timers will find the faces of many of their friends in this group. OH BOY! THAT SURE WAS SOME FEED! Left to right: Harvey Derne, Jim Russell, George W. Litz, Henry ("Dad") Settle, W. M. Ritter, S. M. Wolfe, Sam Jackson, I. T. Mann, Granville Calhoun, J. W. Mayhew, O. Burlingame, T. J. Calhoun, Ed. Mann, James L. Hamill, and C B. Weakley. This picture was taken on the occasion of the visit of the Officers and Directors of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company to the Hazel Creek operation some ten years ago. They came in on the first and only Special Train that ever has traveled the Carolina and Tennessee Southern Railway. Eight In order to get an idea of the extent and quality of the timber available, a horseback trip was arranged for. Over the ridges, and through the valleys and rich coves with their virgin timber they went, now riding where the going was good, now walking up the steep inclines and leading their mounts. When the sun began to get high overhead the riders were experiencing an empty feeling in the region of their belts, and coming to the store at the logging camp, some one suggested that they buy some supplies to tide them over until they should return to the mill late in the afternoon. But Mr. Ritter and Mr. Wolfe had been conniving together and had instructed the store men to pretend to not have on hand any foodstuffs the party asked for. Mr. Ritter had been, from time to time, making remarks more or less publicly about the shortsightedness of not having some arrangements made for obtaining dinner for the party. They pressed on, hoping against hope, as their hunger increased, that they might find a mountain cabin or a camper's lodgings where food could be obtained. Suddenly, when at the top of a ridge, Granville Calhoun, who was in the lead, spurred up his horse and with startling Indian war-whoops went clattering down into Bone Valley, where a wreath of smoke could be seen floating up through the trees. Soon the riders beheld a sight that sent then wild with delight. Under the far-spreading branches o: the famous Horse Cove poplar, a rustic table had been made from a basswood log, and heaped upon it were fried chickens, fresh mountain trout, hot biscuits, wild honey, fresh cool buttermilk, all the finest food the country afforded,—a feast in the virgin wilderness. It is no wonder that long distance eating championship records were broken that day or that the quantities of buttermilk consumed were phenomenal. Mr. Ritter and Mr. Wolfe with the help of Mr. Granville Calhoun had planned it all out in advance. Early in the morning the cook, Jim Russell, had gone to Horse Cove with his supplies, and two expert fishermen, Dillard Hall and W. G. Brooks, went after mountain trout. Granville Calhoun's war whoop was the pre-arranged signal for the ccok to put the trout on the fire, and when the party arrived, everything was in readiness for them. It is not surprising that this stands out as a never-to-be-fcrgotten day in the lives of the xen who made the trip, and that the Smoky Mountains have a warm place in their hearts. Granville Calhoun measuring the famous Horse Cove Poplar. Nine

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
